Senate May Hold Hearings on Able Danger

The Senate Judiciary Committee may hold hearings on recent revelations which throw the work and conclusions of the 9/11 Committee into great doubt.

Rep. Curt Weldon says at least 5 people will testify that information identifying lead hijacker Mohammad Atta was available prior to 9/11 but was not allowed to be shared with law enforcement for legal reasons. The Committee has denied that this took place.

On Monday the Pentagon said it could not verify the Able Danger claims, but Rep. Weldon says the Pentagon spokesman is now "backpedaling" and adds "There's something very sinister going on here."
