#1 Sorry, but this sounds too much like the Pentagon suits trying to cover their tracks. This is now the time to bite the bullet and do this publically so no one can hide their dirty laundry. The 'potential' to compromise processes is out weighed by making sure that official know that now and in the future they will be held accountable for their decisions. Let the sun shine. Let us all know who said what when.

#2 If you understand how data mining works (both in general and in detail) then its fairly easy to avoid detection. Able Danger was more than 5 years ago and the technology has matured since then. I expect it is being widely used today. I think the Pentagon are right in not wanting to publicize how the technology works, for the same the same reason I'm not going to tell you how to avoid detection.
