Cyber-sleuths working for a Pentagon intelligence unit that reportedly identified some of the 9/11 hijackers before the attack were fired by military officials, after they mistakenly pinpointed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other prominent Americans as potential security risks, The Post has learned.
The private contractors working for the counter-terrorism unit Able Danger lost their jobs in May 2000. The firings following a series of analyses that Pentagon lawyers feared were dangerously close to violating laws banning the military from spying on Americans, sources said.
The Pentagon canceled its contract with the private firm shortly after the analysts who were working on identifying al Qaeda operatives produced a particularly controversial chart on proliferation of sensitive technology to China, the sources said.

Sources said the private contractors, using sophisticated computer software that sifts through massive amounts of raw data to establish patterns, came up with a chart of Chinese strategic and business connections in the U.S.

The China chart was put together by James Smith, who confirmed yesterday that his contract with the military was canceled and he was fired from his company because the military brass became concerned about the focus on U.S. citizens.

"It was shut down in a matter of hours. The colonel said our service was no longer needed and told me: 'You just ended my career.' "

Sometime last year, not sure when, the NY Post or Daily News had a small story on someone who was caught with a gun and he told them he was Rice's security. Im looking for the story but the man was also in possesion of her phone number and I dont think it was a number for public use.
There is no doubt that it was Condoleezza Rice, if not the program was not working. This story was out there (although this particular article was written about a year later):
The Chinese Army Spy and Condoleezza Rice
I have no idea how serious this is/was. As a professor at Stanford Ms Rice would not have issued security clearances or had any influence on military procurements or sales. However, in a data mining exercise regarding Chinese strategic and business connections in the U.S. she would definitely have turned up. (Looks like yet another score for Able Danger!)
That the program was terminated because Ms Rice's name turned up is something I think belongs among the fairy tales.
There would've been NO reason for Bubba (or Reno/Gorelick/Lindsey/Shriller/Ickes/Berger et al) to end the program because Condi Rice's name appeared ..in fact, if there was ANYTHING suspicious about her, they couldn't have leaked it fast enough to hurt W.
But, there would've been PLENTY of reason to end it .. if someone was actually doing their job to protect US and the Able Danger project discovered the admin. scuzzballs in the shady and seditious relationships and arrangements we KNOW existed.
Thanks, varmint, my suspicions are confirmed.
If you know something we don't know, HH, confirm that there is a real reason why you won't talk about AD, don't just blow it, and us, off. (Guess I should send that comment to HH, right?)
More likely it was shut down because so many of Bill and Hillaries Chinese friends showed up on the list. Clinton is responsible (IMHO) for allowing our sensitive technology to be sold to China by Loral and other defense contractors.
When I look at the senatorial lineup on the dems side of Specters Judiciary Committee I cringe. When I see the repubicans on that committee I want to puke. Do you think the senate Judiciary Committee will accomplish anything. They are part of the problem.
I've tried to get further comment from him but it's going to take more than me to get him to move on it. It sounds like his screeners are also blowing off any callers that bring up AD.
"Because of what Able Danger found out about Chinagate, the Clintonites killed all their work (including their findings on Atta). They hid the Al Qaeda findings to protect Clinton's China treason. Now 3,000 people are dead because of it.".......Bingo!!! We have a winner!!!!
I want names, dates, facts...I want a trial and if conviction, appropriate punishment.
Hey...you might be on to something there.
RINO infestation. Something we are going to have to deal with in upcoming elections.
JEDI.
Fly on the Wall and the Beginning of the 911 Commission Coverup
Wonder if they are still available for hire ? Perhaps we the people can fund our own Able Danger project. From what I understand they searched only publicly available data ? We may have to come up with a different name though.
The US would no longer exist if the Japanese had nuclear missile technology prior to the onset of WWII.
So we are being governed by the Chinese ? I guess its better then having to pray to Mecca everyday. Looks like WWIII already ended. China owns our feds. Walmart sells their goods. Perhaps WWIV will be between the Chinese and the Islamists.
A lot of Freepers are pointing out that Clinton's Dr. SUSAN Rice also worked at Stanford!! They netted William Perry's name also, Cinton's Sec. of Defense.
