I doubt I will have much chance to do any round ups over the weekend, need to get my oldest back to college (with some family fun on the side). Will see how things go. For today let’s start with the media outlets – as usual. The Washington Post is running an article on Shaffer’s […]

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 […]

Sorry for the light posting, but work comes first. Some really funny things were said today on talk radio. Now the folks saying them were not thinking they were funny, they were trying to emphasize the seriousness of the issue. I think those who care about this country not being attacked take it seriously, and […]

Not surprisingly, the flood that came out yesterday on Able Danger subsided a bit today, most likely to wait on the Pentagon statement or any new breaking news. I am posting whatever has new information or perspectives in these daily round ups, since the blogoshpere is rampant with discussion. First the news outlets. The NY […]

From this local news source here in DC we find a very troubling pattern of dangerous lawyering: 1996: Strike One “We had an al Qaida finance person named Khalifa in custody in San Francisco and, in essence, he was the money behind bin Laden,” says Fred Burton, the deputy chief of counter-terrorism at the State […]

This is actually very interesting, and one could say good news {hat tip Drudge]. I think the Pentagon is not going to try and white wash this. Lt. Col.

When reading Debrah Orin’s piece out today it is important to recall that the FBI operated in field offices, tied to their local US Attorney Offices. In the Clinton administration the lead FBI field office for Al Qaeda and Bin Laden was in NYC as a result of the WTC bombing in 1993, and the […]

UPDATE: OK, the entire post has been a day long update, but Ed Morrissey’s readers have been out searching and finding more terrorist attacks and highjackings from 1998-2001 which were directly tied, at the time, to Iraq. Lot’s of folks are wondering how all these attacks connected to Iraq got lost in the 9-11 Omission. […]

The Able Danger people are starting to come forward. In a combined interview with the NYTimes and FOX News we have this information: Colonel Shaffer said in an interview that the small, highly classified intelligence program known as Able Danger had identified by name the terrorist ringleader, Mohammed Atta, as well three of the other […]

If this is true we may finally begin to get some answers on Able Danger Rep. Curt Weldon said Monday that one or more members of an elite team of military intelligence officers who had identified al Qaeda hijacker Mohamed Atta as a terrorist threat two years before he led the 9/11 attacks are prepared […]
