Able Danger Hearings Begin Today

Possible bombshell: one AD officer will reveal the name of the superior who ordered him to destroy 2.5 terabytes of informtion the team had collected.

There may be a good reason for that. The program was shut down because, superiors felt, it was coming close to spying on Americans, if not actually doing so. So there are justifiable reasons to destroy the group's research, apart from CYA.

Still-- could be some fireworks.

2.5 TERAbytes? Wow.

Cue cig smoke through nostrils...

Yeah, but the actual data is mostly anondyne, you know? Huge databases culled into one central storehouse, mostly containing crap of no interest to anyone.

You need a huge constellation of datapoints to analyze. From all that info, you'll get 1000 or so possible terrorists or foreign agents, and subsequent analysis will whittle that down further.

The company I work for has ~30 terabytes of data with another 70 TB of space for manipulating it.

Makes the 500 G I have at home look pathetic.

"Possible bombshell: one AD officer will reveal the name of the superior who ordered him to destroy 2.5 terabytes of informtion the team had collected."

It will only be a bombshell if it is actually reported.... how many news reports have you heard about this in the MSM??????

My bet that it stays under the radar, just as it has been. At least now we know what Sandy Berger was taking out of the National Archives....

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
