The 9-11 Commission has made a very strange move one week out from Senate hearings on Able Danger: they claim Able Danger cannot back its claim of identifying four of the 9-11 highjackers and trying to alert the FBI of the presence of Al Qaeda in the US in the summer of 2000. Like they […]

UPDATE: Instead of burying this at the end of a terminally long post, let me thank Captain Ed Morrissey up front for the kind words and link to this post. I agree with his sentiment on Reason Magazine Reason usually does better than this. That was the short version of my reaction. Now for the […]

Sandy Bergler, Bill Clinton’s National Security Adviser who admitted to stealing classified records associated with the run up to 9-11 and destroying them, was fined $50,000 for his actions. I am sure Bill Clinton was able to get someone to donate the 59G’s to poor Sandy: A judge on Thursday ordered Sandy Berger, President Clinton’s […]

Some interesting Able Danger news slid through the mountain of Katrina stories today. Rep Weldon claims some of the Able Danger documents were recently destroyed in 2003, around the time of the 9-11 commission investigation. This is well after the destruction of documents that occurred (which is normal) through out the program’s existance (fall 1999 […]

This round up is going to be brought to you, to a great extent, by Tom Maguire at Just One Minute. Tom has been doing some good research on this (where he gets the time is beyond me) in this post. Tom begins with some comments by Richard Clarke in the LA Times where he […]

Tom Maguire was kind enough to alert me to this notice in the Pentagon Website so I have been keeping an eye on news updates. Well, the Washington Post just released this news – more coming forward on Able Danger (could have sworn I predicted this a few days back?) Pentagon officials said Thursday they […]

We are a less than a week away from Senate hearings on Able Danger, and the news leaks should be coming fast and furious leading up to that time. Tom Maguire was kind enough to notify me of this new update from our local WTOP news company. The unit that was looking for information on […]

Tom Maguire links to a NY Times article that finally gives us a starting point for a possible end to the Able Danger story: WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 – The Senate Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday that it was investigating reports from two military officers that a highly classified Pentagon intelligence program identified the Sept. 11 ringleader […]

Able Danger keeps twisting and turning as news slowly dribbles out. I expect, now that we have hit the end of summer, that a prime Able Danger player – the woman PhD referred to by Shaffer and Phillpott – will come forward sometime in the coming weeks. Not much new from the news outlets since […]
