Weldon has said he added language to the defense bill to fund a project called 'Able Providence' that uses the same (or updated)type of technology. He has also said that the bill signed by Bush in January creating the TTIC (terrorist Threat Integration Center) goes a long way to removing the obstacles to sharing intelligence that were there. He does not agree on having an Intelligence Czar, though.

Why Able Danger past findings would expose anything -- but a coverup -- is beyond me.
