The transcript of the Congressman Weldon’s mid day press conference can be found here at the Able Danger blog. I have posted earlier on the big news of the press conference – Able Danger data still exists and is probably the data sets sent to SOCOM as the lead organization for Able Danger. Before we [...]

Some new information on Able Danger seems to have broken earlier today in the NY Post which I missed until now. Seems Atta was detected up to 13 times before 9-11: An active-duty military intelligence analyst has told congressional investigators that 9/11 pilot Mohamed Atta surfaced 13 times in a controversial Pentagon computer program before [...]

UPDATE: 4:20 PM Eastern: Nothing to report. I was hoping transcripts or something would be out – but I only see one subscriber site with anything so far. I will keep checking to see if any wires come out. Seems everyone is still running around talking about the VP’s hunting accident. END UPDATE Able Danger [...]

Sen. Patrick Leahy made a very strange comment at the end of a segment of Face The Nation yesterday – he basically claimed Bush knew the names of the highjackers before 9-11 and he wanted to get things right this time (paraphrasing). Michelle has the actual words and some commentary on this strange action by [...]

Well it looks like it is official, the Pentagon has agreed to Senate hearings on Able Danger. I hope they are looking at some of the questions I posted so that the hearings are not some sort of catch up to the blogosphere but actually settle some serious issues. TopDog at the Able Danger Blog [...]

World Net Daily has an interview with Curt Weldon where it appears the green light has been given to the hearings: Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., expects Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to green light public hearings before Congress this week in connection with the military operation “Able Danger,” to disclose more information regarding prior knowledge of [...]

Folks, I have corrected the sections which did not copy right Looks like this is the week for my Able Danger predictions to come true. Yesterday, Gen Hugh Shelton confirmed my early suspicions that Able Danger was a technology demonstration program. Today there is a major article on Able Danger out from GovExec.com, which has [...]

Able Danger got a huge boost today when General Hugh Shelton confirmed he established the program: Gen. Hugh Shelton, who was the military’s top commander during the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, confirmed that four years before the tragedy he authorized a secret computer data-mining initiative to track down Osama bin Laden and operatives in the [...]

In the back of my mind the connection to Able Danger and Germany has been bugging me. If you recall I posted on the possible ways Able Danger could have connected Mohamed El-Amir Atta to the Blind Sheik of WTC fame, and we explored many other connections to Germany. But something kept bothering me. So [...]

I was listening to Keane and Hamilton of the 9-11 Omission on MTP. Besides their tendency to hype (like there will be another 9-11 atack, so everyone needs to do what we told them to do) they discussed Able Danger. Hamilton did the majority of the response. Basically they said it was looked at and [...]

Able Danger’s re-incarnation appears to be progressing with new powers and responsibilities for detecting terrorist activities in the US: The Pentagon has pushed legislation on Capitol Hill that would create an intelligence exception to the Privacy Act, allowing the FBI and others to share information gathered about U.S. citizens with the Pentagon, CIA and other [...]

Many are requesteding for the US to come clean on Able Danger: On Friday, Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., sent Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld a letter signed by a bipartisan group of 246 lawmakers demanding that the program’s officers and contractors be allowed to testify in open congressional hearings. “Further refusal … can only lead us [...]

In attempt to delay the massive leaf raking I must face every year after Thanksgiving, I have been researching diligently (over my morning coffee) some Able Danger and ‘Atta in Prague’ updates, something we posted recently on here. Fair warning – this sucker is one long post. Or are they may be accurately called ‘predates’. [...]

I always hesitate in referencing Global Research as a source since at can be a bit conspiratorial at times. But they do base their wild claims on solid facts and have broken news on Able Danger before. So I will roll the dice again with them in this post. Able Danger, a relatively small data-mining [...]

I do not have the time right now to link back to the specific posts on this subject, but today’s Wall Street Journal article on Atta in Prague is a bombshell. Why? Well it is more believable than relying on Al Qaeda’s Mastermind for 9-11 regarding Atta’s whereabouts! And that is who the 9-11 commission [...]
