But they have no qualms about showing hearings on our national security when it gives the enemy info.

I would think that these hearings (Able Danger) are more damaging to national security than the NSA hearings were. The Able Danger hearings show how the dots can be connected, which enables a person aiming to be stealthy to avoid leaving a "dot connecting trail."

The NSA hearings were all about legal interpretation of balance of powers, and general policy.

The real evidence itself is never going to be presented out in open session; that's all going to be closed. And I think Weldon is enough of a patriot that he would never leak anything that would actually damage national security.

Not leave dot connecting trial.

That's not easy, it adds considerably to the difficulty of the effort, thus limits effectiveness of the bad actors. AND be so doing that itself creates remarkable activities and pattern -- albeit at more local levels.
