The Senate Intelligence Committee has taken closed-door statements in an inquiry that could clear up whether the intelligence program Able Danger identified September 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta a year before the attack. A spokesman said yesterday that the committee likely will release a report or a statement in the next two weeks that makes conclusions, or at least determines the facts. Most of the attention on Able Danger has come from the Senate Judiciary Committee, which already has conducted one public hearing on the intelligence-collection program. It is now asking the Pentagon to allow personnel associated with Able Danger, such as defense intelligence analyst Anthony Shaffer and Navy Capt. Scott Philpott, to testify in public about how Atta was purportedly identified. But a final verdict could come sooner from the intelligence committee, based on closed-door briefings already provided by Mr. Shaffer, Capt. Philpott and Pentagon officials.

All this is a desparate attempt by DC insiders to sweep an uncomfortable event under a convenient rug - the Intelligence Committee.
Ever hear the term whitewash.
In 2025 maybe we will finally be able to read what really happended to Kennedy. It was suppose to be out long ago but keeps getting hidden for "National Security" so, my guess is my son in 2050 might get to read what really happended in Able Danger.
Was/is "Able Danger" exposing more than only a warning label?
The Swimmer and his best bud Frenchie Boy are still with us. I wouldn't look for the records on President Kennedy's assignation to come out until after they've both passed on to the hereafter. And then it probably wont be the truth of what really happened.
Was I wrong?
More cover-up BS we want the truth.
No you were right.
By keeping AD out of the news and constantly changing the rules the powers that be are hoping this will all go away it's our job to make sure it doesn't.
I heard/read a blurb on Fox News bottom of the screen ticker a few days ago, that the Able Danger meeting had been postponed because of Rosh Hoshanah...
SO... I think perhaps that might be true...there hasn't been much going on anywhere in Washington this week yet...
However, does Curt Weldon have a website that somone could e-mail and ask him???
ping....still don't know about any hearing yet, though.
Say good bye to Able Danger, it's dead. Weldon will no longer push, it appears that he has received his hush money....

Thanks for the ping; this seems to be headed for a big black hole. Weldon cannot be pleased.
Haven't heard anything more from the Jerseys girls about Able Danger, either. I bet they received another round of settlement checks at the end of last month to shut them up.
It appears that Weldon sold out for the Osprey.
I just spoke with someone at Weldon's office...he said that the Able Danger meeting was postponed due to Rosh Hashanah...did not know new date...
When I asked if Con. Weldon was just as intent of following through...he wanted my name, phone #.... I told him I was on Free Republic and that we noticed the new contract from the Pentagon...and that there was concern about a possible buy off....
AND, that if this isn't true, that perhaps Weldon might want to put out a press release before it is assumed more and more.
I ended up giving him my address, name and phone #....because I told him that I respected what Weldon was doing, and that he has a lot of people pulling for him out here...
"I ended up giving him my address, name and phone #"
If we never hear from you again, we will know what happened.
/scarasm (I hope)
Please, keep this information handy, just in case....LOL
So far, I have given my address to both of my Senators and my Congressman, and all I have gotten is letters...
Let's hope that trend continues.....
make that "/sarcasm"...i always spell it wrong.
I bet they don't put out a press release on Able Danger and the Osprey because that will ensure people put the two together. It could just be coincidence that after all of these years Osprey has been dead that it was revived around the same time as the AD hearings.
Very good job, Txsleuth! Thank you so much for doing that.
What does that mean?
I hope so....I hope it is a coincidence...but I made it clear to the person at his office that there are rumblings...so Weldon better at least announce a rescheduled date for the next Able Danger hearing...
even if it is behind closed doors, and we can't see/hear it---I want to know that it happens and when.
THEN, we will have more of an idea (I hope) if it will be
buried or not.
Peach, I don't usually call offices other than my own congresscritters...but I hate the idea that Weldon would back out for an Osprey AFTER having Lt. Schaeffer and the others "out" themselves.....
That would make me furious!!!
