Able Danger - Closed Hearing?

Fox News is telling us that the Pentagon wants Arlen Specter's Able Danger hearing to be closed.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is pressuring the Senate Judiciary Committee to close to the public next week's hearings on a former secret military intelligence unit called "Able Danger," two congressional sources have confirmed to FOX News.

Witnesses from the Pentagon are expected to testify at that hearing; that's why they want it classified. FOX News has learned that committee Chairman Arlen Specter's office is vigorously resisting the request.

 

Here is the Judiciary Committee website notice. which adds nothing now, but may be updated.

AJ Strata has been following "Able Danger" closely, so check there, too. (Hah!  He will know to write his post *before* e-mailing me a tip, next time!).

UPDATE:  A light bulb goes off over my head!  Maybe, I say maybe, this is really a disguised ploy by Specter and Weldon to conceal the fact that they have nothing!  "I begged for an open hearing, but the Pentagon forced me to close it!".

Just a thought.

MORE:  At Memeorandum.

AND MORE:  As predicted, AJ Strata has more - did the Able Danger group predict the Cole bombing?  If they were that good in 2000, that might explain the closed hearings - maybe they are still that good.

Check this post, too.  (And Weldon mentioned the briefing to Shelton in his May 2003 House floor speech - time does not permit...)

Why should something as important as this be put in the hands of the Judiciary committee? Haven't we just seen enough of those clowns?

Didn't I say something about the powers that be want these lessons learned quietly?

What irritates me about that is that we need a loud, public discussion of privacy and public order. The 21st Century is a brave, new, world and some of the old rules no longer apply.

I mean, imaging could have looked inside Bush's bladder the other day at the UN.

And I can look inside your mind. Well, if not me, someone can. Ask any advertiser.

In the history of man, with few exceptions, when a better tool is invented, the old gets laid aside, not the new.

Sh, I'll protect your privacy.

I'll protect your privacy, said the spider to the fly. I'll wall up everything I have on you.

In an UPDATE, I smell cover-up of the non-cover-up.

Friends don't let friends drink (four cups of coffee) and blog.

Ooh, it irritates me that Berger is beyond jeopardy. What are the chances he didn't know anything about Able Danger? What Libraries was he hanging out in right about when the 9/11 commission was getting apprised of Able Danger? When was he outed?
==================================================

[kim]

OK, they anticipated Cole, they anticipated 9/11. Try to explain to me that this is not a vital defense tool. Try to convince me it's been thrown on the ash heap of history.

Yeah, along with that famous bridge.
