This was the LIWA-Orion phase I mentioned in yesterday’s post. The second phase used Raytheon and the Garland site. One thing comes out clearly: these two phases were the development or ‘campaign’ phase Cambone discusses - building the capability and doing initial runs. The effort goes ‘operational’ after all this completed and the capabilities are now at SOCOM (I would guess). So the people we have heard from were the ones building the capability - which then went operational with I would guess a smaller sustaining engineering group maintaining the systems and someone out acquiring data. All this says is the key data was lost before the thing went ‘live’. Geez, 9-11 sort told us that much.

There is brand new proof that “Able Danger” uncovered lead hijacker Mohamed Atta’s connections to a various terrorist groups including Al Qaeda. Check it all out here.

Have not even seen a reference to the Able Danger Hearing going on in their "capital news" captions. They'll show it in wee hours of the morning to make sure it can be filtered thru the LSM. CSPAN, THE NEUTRAL (ha!) wouldn't want to hurt the Dems or the Clintons. This is just sick! It is 3:55pm EST and CSpan channel that covers the House

This is just sick!

It is scary to have it confirmed but it seems that there are a lot of people working in the security field which care more about "anything else" rather than care about the security of their country: Abel Danger, NSA wiretapping, CIA secret prisons, prisoner interogation methods, etc. I sincerely hope that people like you, exposing this situation, will make a difference before it is too late. AJ,

Sorry if I was not clear. I know the Orion-LIWA contract was unclassified. I cannot recall now which post has it. All me details are from press reports, transcripts, etc. It's in there. But not all 'skunkworks' efforts are classified. Able Danger was a demonstration program to prototype commercial technology for intelligence applications. AJStrata Bobo,

"How certain are you that EVERYTHING was deleted and/or destroyed? If you look carefully at the features and functionality of the tool as shown in the product demo, the link diagrams and supporting data can be shared and transferred to multiple site locations quite easily". I would also not be so quick to assume that Orion (now SRA) only represented the front-end unclassified part of Able Danger. How certain are you that Orion was not part of what is informally known as “skunk works”? (Operations that are run by private contractors but used for clandestine government-related security programs) A.J. -
