Here is the open thread I promised for those fortunate to track the Senate hearings in real time. The lovely webmistress will be checking in throughout the day to moderate comments – so keep it clean and keep it civil please. Your comments will not be posted immediately initially. AJStrata

The Pentagon pulled a really bad stunt today stopping all the military witnesses to Able Danger from testifying to the Senate: The Pentagon said today that it had blocked a group of military officers and intelligence analysts from testifying at an open Congressional hearing about a highly classified military intelligence program that, the officers have […]

This morning the Washington Times has a precursor on the Senate hearings supposedly happening tomorrow. It is a good review of the last week’s revelations and key questions. However, as with nearly everything related to Able Danger, there is some confusion. The employee who will testify that he destroyed the data will apparently also allege […]

There is little to no breaking news on Able Danger today (yet). But I have been seeing some great blogger posts on Able Danger out there, thanks to links to my site. I decided to pull them together in one place for people to review as we prepare for the hearings on Wednesdy. Top Dog […]

People may be surprised to find out I have not yet gone through the GSN interview in detail. So here are some of the gems I located in my review today. First is the item I mentioned in a previous post regarding mosques and Atta and his photo. Shaffer told GSN that one key to […]

Rep. Weldon has responded to the 9-11 Commission’s brazen dismissal of Able Danger today: “For the 9/11 commission (search) to say that this did not exist is just absolutely outrageous. It’s a total denial of the facts,” said the Pennsylvania Republican. He also hints at some of the witnesses for next week’s hearings (during which, […]
