Scott Phillpott
A
data-mining project named Able Danger had identified hijack leader Mohamed Atta
as a threat tied to al-Qaeda and living in Brooklyn as early as January 2000, many months before his attack in September 2001.
He was quoted by Fox News in August 2005 as stating I have briefed the Department of the Army, the Special Operations Command and the office of (Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence) Dr. Cambone as well as the 9/11 Commission.[1] My story has remained consistent.[2]
Phillpott and a civilian technician identified as "JD Smith" were the two sources for Army
Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer's claims of an intelligence failure
.
Phillpott has commanded the USS Typhoon (PC 5), USS Samuel Eliot Morison (FFG 13), USS ESTOCIN (FFG-15), and USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55).
