Some traditional intelligence officials, however, seemed either skeptical or jealous of LIWA's capability. At one conference, "Able Danger" analysts identified four major al-Qaida hubs - the Middle East, East Africa, Balkans and the Far East - in about 90 minutes."Because we weren't an intelligence organization, we got a lot of bad press," he said. "Folks thought we were running fast and loose with the data."By April, the "Able Danger" team was told to end its support of SOCOM. During the month's long work stoppage, SOCOM's patience ran out, and the military command transferred the work to a Raytheon facility in Garland, Texas, and continued the effort.One of the million-dollar questions in Washington is who ordered the shut down."Nobody will admit sending down the order to do it," he said. "It came from somewhere up in the Pentagon."Many speculated that Richard Shiffrin, the Pentagon's deputy general counsel at the time, was to blame for the decision. Shaffer's testimony claims Army lawyer Tom Taylor cut off Army support for the project.

Shakespeare said "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." --Henry VI, Act 2
Fascinating article on the paralysis of common sense by the legal mindset.
Have you ever watched the show the E-Ring? If even 1/10th of that show is correct, we're in serious trouble. The lawyers run the show.
I'll give this a read after I wake up fully. Thanks for the ping.
Every single government institution is infiltrated by those who hate this country and pray for it's demise.
I've never even heard of it! What channel? What's it about?
I just checked the tv guide and it's not on this week. It's typically on Wednesday nights as I recall on one of the network channels (NBC or CBS).
It's about the Pentagon. An attorney is featured prominently who is assigned to working from the Pentagon as special forces and military plan operations.
Honest to Pete, the military doesn't SNEEZE without checking with the lawyers.
Oh, network? No wonder I've never heard of it lol!
I can believe that though... my mom works for a franchise attorney, a variety of business law that actually contributes something to society. The stories that she tells me about about some of the other types of lawyers in her office.... ugh! I'm shocked that we get anything done at all in America.
LOL. Some days I'm shocked we can do anything in America too.
Clintoon fired all the attorneys and stacked the deck with clintonistas. No wonder the government is a rotton mess.
The MSM would rather freak out about something which doesn't embarrass their friends than print an explosive story which does!
Get this entire story exposure and Hillary won't get elected dogcatcher in a 100% Democrat district, especially not in New York. If they hadn't been so busy covering their asses, the WTC might still be standing.
The Clintoons flooded the military with liberal lawyers during their administration. It might take more than a decade to flush them out.
I believe both Clintoons are lawyers. Could we start with them? :-)
