WELDON CALLS PRESS CONFERENCE IN ADVANCE OF WEDNESDAY’S ABLE DANGER HEARING

WASHINGTON, Feb 13 -

U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.), vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security Committees, will hold a press conference on Tuesday, February 14th at 12:00 p.m. in the House Radio/TV Gallery in advance of Wednesday’s House Armed Service joint subcommittee hearing on the Able danger - a Department of Defense planning effort prior to 9/11 tasked to identify and target the linkages and relationships of Al-Qaeda worldwide.

Weldon plans to highlight much of his work over the past 9 months on Able Danger, and detail new information on the planning effort, including some of the ongoing investigations within Congress.

Also, following the press conference, Congressman Weldon will appear before the Committee on Government Reform’s National Security Subcommittee hearing on National Security Whistleblower Protection. Weldon will highlight how individuals within the U.S. government who have told the truth, when the truth went against agency leadership, were fired.

Just keep your fingers crossed that there even is a hearing.


I'm starting to have my doubts that there will be a public hearing today. C-SPAN.org does have the Whistle Blower hearings from yesterday up now...so hopefully they will post Able Danger material also...with enough prompting that is.
