Thanks, Kay!
Here is a sample of their data mining software results.
Check out this website, in which you will find the following...
The charts generated by these analytical techniques not only help establish relationships and focus the investigation, but they also have a hidden benefit all the source information is documented on cards behind each link and entity on the chart, or through a direct link to the investigative database. This ensures that when the legal process begins all documentary evidence is organized and substantiates the charts.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to check it out.
Slimes just desperate for some new subscribers.
I'd say.
Thanks for the G2 (info) on this neat datamine textchart website. This helps me understand the Able Danger in context.
They aren't stupid, they are biased, believe they need to protect their territory, and want to be sure that the armed forces don't take funds away from them. Stupid only in ignoring the value of other sources.
The Navy does have the most professional intelligence operations, possibly because they are by default more strategic than tactical.
This from a former USAR collection guy.
Because they know Bush will get blamed for it. Most people probably don't remember who was running the show then. If this story gets legs, watch for this: accounts in the media will ascribe blame to the "government" or the "administration"; generic terms that will fall back on the current president. I doubt will hear the words "Clinton", "Freeh" etc
What are YOU selling? It must be good to justify your essential claim that the military officers are lying.
I believe them and so do many who don't want to.
After a quick look I'm guessing they've applied a kind of web crawler to ferret out data relations from a department's multitude of document files. This is certainly a time-saver and a valuable tool for that application. Similar tools are available for an organization's millions of lines of legacy computer code analysis.
I have to defer to the experts but I've heard Lt. Col. Shaffer talk about one aspect of Able Danger being matching patterns of known bad guys to multiple tera-bytes of data. One point is IMO, you are not going to generate useful charts on a computer screen with that many combinations of "data points." Thus, the need for a huge, wall-sized working document that makes it easy to pick off the mined data, IMO. And that chart is not likely to be saved unless it was copied to a manageable size.
I know that you are not suggesting this tool would have worked for Able Danger. It is useful for understanding, however. Thanks.
So... Libs are responsible for Iraq too!
Gorelick->9/11->wot->iraq
Cia director, Clintnoid-false wmd evidence->Kerry->votes for Iraq
"I recall when Clinton became President and had appointed Reno Atty.Gen, the first thing they did was to fire all appointed lawyers in the Justice Dept. Reagen nor either Bush did that, which in my opinion, was a real mistake."
Not a mistake. Preparation for their illegal activities.
the sheeple are stupid. but not stupid enough to not know the difference between the years 1999 and 2000, from 2001.
OMG - what hasw the internet and intel wrought.
We watched Part 1 on Tivo last night. The segment mentioning MacDill must have been included very, very recently, as the clip showed the new gate entrance, which has only been completed in the last month or two. Interesting!
What's odd about this report?

You raise very valid questions as had been mentioned also by others earlier on in recent FR article posts, as to just who had what at what times. Perhaps if this continues to have legs, we shall gain answers to your questions. To attempt to answer one of your questions. It appears Schaffer had provided some of "his set of documents" to the commission staffers. Some two briefcases worth. His statement regarding now not being able to located the whole set of documents, he had placed in a secure safe, is a bit disturbing to say the least.
Once signed into the storage area, one would think they would just set at BIN#/Isle#/Row$, and not be disturbed.
Surely the secure warehouse contains tons of stuff. So either he is setting up a gracefull exit scheme for himself, or someone removed his set from where they where designated to reside. Obviously we do not know if all his set of documents where formally at the warehouse site and he had retrieved and assembled some of the stuff to present to the Commission Staffers or not. Or they where at the time he and the DIA folks where interviewed by the staffers, his set of docs where somewhere else prior to showing them to the staffers. Perhaps someday we shall get a better over all picture as to what went down. But I doubt it will satisfy those who demand details that may never surface.
