Washington, DC (AHN) - Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Spector says the Department of Defense ordered five key wittnesses not to testify about a secret of the 9-11 hijackers more than a year before the attacks.

Before Wednesday's Able-Danger committee hearing, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman says the Pentagon is concerned about discussing a classified program in an open hearing and is working with the committee to provide a Department of Defense representative to testify. That representative was the acting assistant to the secretary for intelligence oversight, William Dugan.

Whitman also says the Pentagon is "working very closely with the committees of oversight to provide them with all of the info they need to assess Able Danger." The Judiciary Committee does not have oversight over the Pentagon.

Also testifying was former defense intelligence analyst, Erik Kleinsmith, who testified that in April 2000 his work became "severely restricted and ultimately shut down due to intelligence oversight concerns," which led to the destruction of very large amounts of data about Able Danger, including information about terrorists.
