Three more confirm Able Danger story

NY Times:

A Defense Department inquiry has found three more people who recall seeing an intelligence briefing slide that identified the ringleader of the Sept. 11 attacks a year before the hijackings and terrorist strikes, Pentagon and military officials said Thursday.

But the officials said investigators who reviewed thousands of documents and electronic files from a secret counterterrorism planning unit had not found the chart itself, or any evidence the chart ever existed.

The officials acknowledged that documents and electronic files created by the unit, known as Able Danger, were destroyed under standing orders that limit the military's use of intelligence gathered about people in the United States.

This is sloppy writing and editing. What the Times means is that they did not find any documentary evidence. They just said in the preceding paragraph that three people have said the program found evidence of the terrorist prior to the attack. That is evidence.
