This is something many have been calling for. Fox News is reporting that the Senate is considering Senate hearing into Able Danger.

The military intelligence official who first spoke publicly about Able Danger (search), the pre-Sept. 11 task force looking for terror threats to the United States, went to Capitol Hill Thursday to brief staffers who work for Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

A congressional source told FOX News that hearings could be in the cards this fall over Able Danger’s findings and its omission from the Sept. 11 commission’s report issued last year. Neither Specter’s office nor Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, who made the explosive allegations, would confirm a plan for hearings.

“I think I can safely say that anyone who is involved in this project will do anything we can to [go to] the appropriate venue [to] present all the truth that we are aware of in the appropriate time and place,” Shaffer told FOX News.

I doubt now that they have announced intentions to do hearings they could ever back out of it. Now we just need Gorelick on the witness list.
