I am not certain at all. All I know from JD Smith’s comments is that armed guards came and picked up all the data from Orion. Orion would have no reason not to assist in this, and plenty of rea$on$ to assist. The government paid for the data and it was theirs to do with as they please. JD Smith’s few remnants were supposedly in his car, and he was not there that day.

Shaffer had his copies up until 2002. As far as I know SOCOM still have theirs, though that set is probably now integrated with classified intelligence data and unaccessable.

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 once thought that would be the case too. But the data at Orion was also deleted in the purge in spring of 2000. The only things that survived were the few charts JD Smith had in his car (it was an unclassified program so there was no requirement to control the documents).

Supposedly they are all gone.

You’re on to something, but if you flip the “process-chain” around, the path points to the origin/source of the link analysis diagrams…

SOCOM -> DIA -> LIWA -> Orion

My guess is that should any pre-9/11 Atta identifying link diagrams still exist, folks at Orion may know where they reside. This is based on the theory that Orion was not just developing software, but was actively collecting, processing, and analyzing data as evidenced in the testimony provided on 9/21.

Simply click on View On-Line Demo; select the Feature Presentation; let the application load and lastly click on the Link Analysis diagram on the demo page.

It says it does visual data analysis. I guess you could take pictures of people coming into airports, put them all in a computer, and the computer would be able to tell if people with different names were really the same person, right?

Where is the show about Al Qaeda?

Note: An Al Qaeda sample is even shown!
