Gorelick's history Former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick is a member of the September 11 commission, but she should be sitting on the witness stand, Ethan Wallison writes in National Review Online. Today, former Attorney General Janet Reno, "under whom Gorelick served for three years beginning in 1994, testifies in open session," said Mr. Wallison, who covers the White House for Roll Call. "The questioning can reasonably be expected to focus on steps taken (or not taken) at the Justice Department in the wake of the first World Trade Center attack in 1993 and the 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City — the worst incidents of terrorism inside the United States before the September 11 hijackings. "Shouldn't Gorelick provide the commission — and the public — with answers on these topics as well? There is something absurd about the notion that, rather than testifying, Gorelick will instead be asking Reno for information. Are there any questions she can ask to which she does not already have the answer? Gorelick's role with the commission deprives the inquiry of a potentially valuable source of agreement or disagreement with the attorney general's testimony. "Consider one theme that has emerged from the hearings to date: the hapless condition of the FBI's antiterror efforts before the 9/11 attacks. If the attacks in New York and Oklahoma City amounted to failures for the FBI, what steps did Gorelick and other top officials at Justice, of which the agency is a part, take to defend against the next instance?"

well...Gorelick and Dick Clarke made absolutely sure that no terrorists disguised as electrons were able to sneak into the US via the internet.
Convinced that an electronic Pearl Harbor is imminent, the US is already taking steps to protect itself.http://www.totse.com/en/technology/cyberspace_the_new_frontier/cybersab.htmlJamie Gorelick, deputy attorney general, has called for an effort similar to the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bomb, to harden federal computer systems against electronic attack.[snip]
... the threat from electronic warfare appears to have been vastly overblown... the only evidence..."consisted of limited anecdotal information"
We can tell this is going in the right direction because Ben-Veniste became much more polite yesterday ~ actually got down on his knees and began kissing tush, big time!
That's a sign. He's NEVER been known to be polite before in his life.
Hmm...that is a good sign.
