ABLE DANGER HEARING TODAY
2:30 p.m. in 2118 Rayburn House Office Building, the House Armed Services Strategic Forces and Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities Subcommittees, a joint hearing for open and closed testimony on the Able Danger effort
From Representative Curt Weldon Website:
Able Danger
ABLE DANGER was a Department of Defense planning effort, tasked to Special Operations Command (SOCOM) by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). The task assigned to ABLE DANGER was to identify and target Al-Qaeda on a global basis and, through the use of cutting edge technology (data-mining, massive parallel processing, neural networking and human factors analysis) and enhanced visualization and display tools, present options for leaders (national command authority) to manipulate, degrade or destroy the global Al-Qaeda infrastructure. It is important to note that considering the massive amount of open source date mined for ABLE DANGER, the planning effort was about linkages and associations of individuals identified with direct links to Al-Qaeda, and not about dates and times.
