Able Danger is nothing more than data mining, and
"data mining" is not some kind of top secret government technology.
With yesterday's action...(the Pentagon barring these witnesses from publically testifying)... there can be no doubt an outrageous cover-up is underway.
Drudge has all but ignored Able Danger, so he doesn't even have this New York Times article highlighted. Weldon is already being attacked as a kook. With no open testimony by direct witnesses, the government will succeed in it's cover-up.

Thank you, many FReepers seem to think this is "James Bond" technology, LOL. Take every email and post on FR, input to a data base and then build files on each FReeper. Given enough time, data mining would reveal profiles on every FReeper, complete with home locations, political philosophy, work habits, employment status, occupation, family, contacts, hobbies......etc, etc. Increase the capacity and scope and you have Able Danger. The information gathered isn't classified, but the results could be.....
