Congress to investigate Able Danger
245 Senators and Reps have signed Curt Weldon's letter demanding that Able Danger
whistleblowers testify before Congress. Able Danger, you may remember,
was the military intelligence project that identified as terrorists, and
tracked, Mohammad Atta & Co. in 2000, but was quickly gagged. Able
Danger officers were told to forget they'd ever heard of Atta; and when
whistleblower Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer went public this year, he was
harassed and had his clearance revoked.

Key congresspeople are pleading with you to write them and give them the
groundswell of support they need to investigate Able Danger. See below
for details.

And don't forget to call in to National Public Radio tomorrow!
Soft-pedal your topic to get past the screeners...then play hardball
when you're live on the air.
Monday, December 5th, 1:00 PM Midwest Time - - - Talk of the Nation
(check your local NPR station schedule for exact time)
When the Nine-Eleven Commission officially ended, its members decided
there was more work to do. They stayed together for one more year to
see what happened to their recommendations to keep America safe. After
one, on Talk of the Nation, Nine-Eleven Commission Co-Chairs Thomas Kean
and Lee Hamilton share their final report card with Neal Conan. From Jim
at Colorado 9/11 Truth:

How Can You Help Uncover Operation Able Danger and Expose the Truth
of 9-11?
(pass on far and wide)

Congressman Weldon is calling on all Members of Congress to sign a
letter he is sending to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld requesting that
members of Able Danger be allowed to testify before Congress and the
American people.
The Pentagon has prevented members of the Able Danger effort from
testifying in an open hearing. Able Danger dealt with open-sourced,
unclassified information, and their story should be told to the American
people.

There are currently 245 signatures on this letter balanced between
Republicans and Democrats, including senior leadership. Urge your
representative, if he/she hasn't, to sign this letter TODAY! See
signatures below.

I Talked to Spectors staffer on the Judicial Committee and asked him for
some advice as to moving this forward. He suggested to have people call
their Senators and urge them to start a similar letter to Rumsfeld.
So.......call your Senators, write, fax, email and ask them to get this
hearing going and start a Senate letter! All testimony in the House or
Senate is basically assumed under oath. And Rummy knows it. Call the
Pentagon and leave a message with Donny boy.....Remember, you pay his
salary!!!! He craps sitting down too. He puts his pants on one leg at a
time.... You own him!!!! Tell him to let Schaffer and Philpott and
Smith and Preisser testify.

The time is now to be BOLD! As bold and brazen as they were for taking
us into endless war and endless spending! As bold and brazen as they
were for shutting down Sibel Edmonds! For murdering 2100 soldiers. For
murdering over 100,000 Iraqi civilians. And as all the evidence is
showing us, complicit in 9-11. DOD info line 703-545-6700 Press
1, ask for or spell Rumsfeld Ask him why he's destroying evidence. Tell
him to un-gag Schaffer, Phillpott and the others.

the Senate and House and ask to be connected. 202-224-3121
Write to Newspapers.
http://www.usnpl.com/ - U.S. Newspapers
http://www.usnpl.com/conews.html - Colorado newspapers Call or write
to Weldon and Spector, tell them you support them. Ask for Russ Caso,
the staffer for Weldon who is handling this issue. Ask for Barr, the
staffer for Spectors Judiciary Committee. (he wouldn't give me his last
name.)

Points:

1. If the 9-11 commissioners believe that Able Danger was so
insignificant, why won't they push for the Pentagon to cooperate in the
hearings?

2. Why is Rumsfeld obstructing these hearings? Is he afraid of what will
be exposed by these whistle blowers, Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, Navy
Capt. Scott Phillpott, and civilian analyst James D. Smithn who have
been gagged? (Dr. Eileen Preisser has not come forward yet but should be
subpeoned.)

3. Why, if the Pentagon is interested in the truth of 9-11 and is not
concerned that Able Danger was significant, are they destroying
evidence? Isn't that illegal? Yes! They must file forms before
destroying classified info and so far haven't produced those forms to
Weldon.

4. How is it that Rumsfeld can tell the Armed Services Committee and the
Judiciary Committee that these people cannot testify? Can't these
committees subpoena these people, over-riding this inept Defense
Secretary? The Congress oversees the DOD!

5. This is a matter of huge significance for the public who were
counting on the 9-11 commission to report all the facts, now found to be
guilty of omitting important evidence that these hijackers were known of
years before!

The absolute best source to understand Able Danger and it's significance

1. Able Danger is just one of many warnings and sets of information
Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 09:09 PM by philb
showing the the admin. knew of the 9/11 plans well before 9/11 and that there had long been contacts and connections between the alleged hijackers and the U.S. intelligence services.

2. "The time is now to be BOLD!"
"As bold and brazen as they were for taking
us into endless war and endless spending!
As bold and brazen as they were for shutting
down Sibel Edmonds! For murdering 2100 soldiers.
For murdering over 100,000 Iraqi civilians. And
as all the evidence is showing us, complicit in
9-11."

Excellent point, Mellow. Bold and brazen as they
were. Some of the Dems would have us try to
deal with bullies by being nice to them.
