Chances are nill that Able Danger will surface anywhere .. too fraught with REAL conspiracies and fact twisting. If any of you have a chance to catch the replay of Rep. Curt Weldon's presser, don't miss it.
The man's relentless .. he's not letting go .. showed a chart from another similar program called Able Providence. All this is being buried and orchestrated, he knows it .. bluntly calls it a cover-up, and the biggest story of his lifetime.
It's truly appalling to learn of the walls and the obfuscation put up at every turn .. from all the intelligence and military agencies and officers .. to the vainglorious politicos orchestrating their personal agendas ... not to mention the apparent nonchalant destruction of Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer's long and dutiful career. Apparently he's so much niggling flotsam to their grand plan.
I pray we learn the truth, and there's some righteous and decent decision maker somewhere who'll want to start tearing the veils and right the wrongs .. just for the good of the US ..and the hell with the consequences.
========================
"Dissatisfied with the response, Weldon today announced new revelations, which he says, “expose even more blunders prior to 9/11 and point to a wider coverup.” The latest findings include Able Danger information provided to defense officials about terrorist activity in the Port of Aden prior to a deadly attack on the USS Cole in October 2000; the discovery of another Able Danger member who confirms a set of data not accounted for by the Pentagon; recent statements by the 9-11 Commission about Able Danger; and the latest efforts by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to smear Able Danger member Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, who broke the silence about the Pentagon’s efforts to track al-Qa’ida worldwide prior to September 11.
Weldon says it was “the intent of Congress that the 9/11 Commission take seriously its mission to gather all available facts and information relevant to whatever pre-9/11 activities might have impacted the tragedy.” Information culled by Able Danger’s analysts, including LTC Shaffer and Captain Scott Philpott, would appear to qualify.
Despite having interviewed both Shaffer and Philpott (at their initiation) and being told that “a secret military program was authorized by the previous Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Hugh Shelton, and assigned to Special Operations Command (SOCOM) under the leadership of General Peter Schoomaker, for the specific purpose of defeating transnational terrorist threats, specifically al-Qa’ida,” the Commission and its staff never undertook any investigation.
“In two months, my limited staff has done what 80 staffers at the Commission and $15 million failed to do,” says Weldon in his letter to Specter and Leahy. “In fact, when the New York Times broke this story in early August of this year, the 9/11 Commission was put in the uncomfortable position of having each of its successively evolving responses rebutted by newly emerging facts. Each time the Commission changed its story, it brought further discredit upon its work.”
The best-selling 9/11 Commission Report never mentions Able Danger’s existence, activities, or findings."
