Able Danger Blog
Able Danger was a small, military intelligence unit under Special Operations Command. It was created as a result of a directive in September 1999 to develop a campaign against transnational terrorism, specifically al-Qaida. According to claims made by Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer and confirmed by others, Able Danger had identified the 9/11 attack leader, Mohamed Atta, and the three other lead 9/11 hijackers as possible members of an al Qaeda cell operating in the United States by early 2000. | | |
| By TopDog08 Just got the following update from Curt Weldon. Here is the key section:
In the next week, I will be following up with the DOD-IG on the status of the investigation and where it is headed as well as the link analysis chart that has been discovered. I will be asking the IG about the chart, its origin and why it has not been made public.
Sounds like the infamous chart was found! Here is the rest of the email:
[THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN SENT ON BEHALF OF U.S. REP. CURT WELDON (R-PA). YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS EMAIL BECAUSE YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY CONTACTED OUR OFFICE ABOUT ISSUES RELATING TO PRE-9/11 INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM - ABLE DANGER]
Thank you for your continued interest regarding Able Danger - the Department of Defense planning effort prior to 9/11 tasked to identify and target the linkages and relationships of Al-Qaeda worldwide.
While the hearing held on Able Danger by the House Armed Services Strategic Forces and Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities Subcommittees last February marked progress, the matter is far from resolved.
The Department of Defense Inspector General (DOD-IG) continues its investigation into allegations that the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) impugned the career of LTC Shaffer shortly after coming forward to the 9/11 Commission and the American Public with information about Able Danger and its work. In the next week, I will be following up with the DOD-IG on the status of the investigation and where it is headed as well as the link analysis chart that has been discovered. I will be asking the IG about the chart, its origin and why it has not been made public.
Many of you have asked for more information about Able Danger. Despite the failure of the main stream media to keep you informed, many sources on the Internet, namely several blogs, have continued to provide valuable information about this important issue. You can find a multitude of updated news provided by these blogs here.
Thank you again for your ongoing interest. I will continue to keep you updated as this inquiry progresses.
Thank you,
