Pentagon Wants Able Danger Hearings Closed
Sources: Pentagon Wants 'Able Danger' Hearings ClosedFriday, September 16, 2005
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.
Why doesn't the Pentagon set the record straight? I'm mean, Able Danger had only identified the first four intended 9/11 pilots almost two years before the attacks, when the program was axed (four months before 9/11) right as the last 13 hijackers arrived in the US. Why would the Pentagon not want to get the facts out? I'm so confused!
