Funny, but I wouldn't have stopped with the FBI. I would have made the same request of the CIA and DoD. I'd want to know what information about Able Danger worked its way into other organizations, how much of that information was provided by DoD, and what kind of information sharing was available about the program's work. I'm talking about the technical aspects as well as the data generated by the program.
FoxNews is reporting that Specter wants to hold hearings.
Michael Gaynor suggests that we should have learned from the mistakes made by the Pearl Harbor Commission to investigate intelligence failures fully and properly. The 9/11 Commission apparently didn't. And we're going to be paying the price for quite some time.
Rep. Curt Weldon, who got this blogstorm rolling, hits the airwaves to proclaim that the 9/11 Commission will be discredited. He said:
"In two weeks with two staffers, I've uncovered more in this regard than they did with 80 staffers and $15 million of taxpayers' money!"It remains to be seen what exactly was uncovered. However, Weldon's assertions on Able Danger have been prescient thus far.
Elsewhere Ted Frank has an interesting article about the interplay of litigation lawyers and how Able Danger data was spiked.
