THANK YOU!
Interesting date.... we should be told what the specific case was that caused the creation of this WALL.
There are REASONS, specific ones that caused the creation of this wall, these people did not just dream this up for no reason.

A letter from each of us to Ashcroft to prosecute might be in order.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1118134/posts 1996: Clinton Considered Jamie Gorelick for CIA Director
The Washington Post Archives | December 3, 1996 | John F. Harris
Oh good grief. All though the Clinton years, I (and a lot of people I know, including many here on FR) said that Clinton was a danger to the country. I actually recall this particular item now that it's been brought up again, but I'd forgotten it--and I'm not sure I understood (at the time) just how bad an idea this was. If memory serves, I believe I thought it a looney idea--now I know it could have been lethal.

Here's the text of my email, don't worry, I put Tom Kean in the subject line. If I misspelled anything, please don't tell me!
Dear Commission Chairman Kean:
I write to you as a fellow New Jerseyan, one who saw the attack on the World Trade Center from my office windows, and one who knows many people who lost friends and relatives in the attack.
I also have had the dubious experience, during my 18 years of living in Hudson County to have lived across the street from the bomber of the first attack on the WTC, across the street from the Mosque where the fellow who killed Meyer Kahne lived, and worked around the corner from the Mosque where the "Blind Sheik" preached. For all these reasons an honest appraisal of intelligence and other pre-9/11 failures is important to me.
Several days after the 9/11 attacks, I asked my husband "How could they have let this happen to us?" By "they" I meant the Federal Government, not President Bush, not the Military, not former President Clinton, certainly not Richard Clark or Janet Reno, no one person or institution, but all of them, collectively. To emphasize what I am sure you already know, the primary function of the Federal Government is to keep the Citizens of this country safe from attack. On Sept. 11th, 2001 the Federal Government failed at its primary task. My understanding is that the commision you chair was empanelled to determine both how this happened and to devise ways to ensure it does not happen again.
It has long been stated that one of the chief reasons for the failure to detect the 9/11 plot was the inability of various Federal Agencies to share information. It has now been demonstrated beyond doubt or dispute that a person who now sits as a Commissioner has much to explain and to answer for in that regard. Whatever anyone might have thought of Ms. Gorelick before, the revelation of her authorship of the memo restricting information sharing reveals a damnable conflict of interest, one that should have been apparant even before the revelation of this memo.
Her failure to alert her fellow commissioners is duplicitous and her failure to resign is disengenous. But I must say that the most distrubing thing of this entire affair has been your statement that this is "your business", and not the business of the American people. That is a disgraceful remark coming from a man of your standing. The work of the commission is solely and only the work of the American people, it is not the property of you, Ms. Gorelick, or any other commissioner.
If Ms. Gorelick is not asked to resign the findings of the commission will be forever suspected to be incomplete and inadequate. And further, if you do not retract your statement I will hold you personally forever in disdain, as a man who sees himself above his station, which is, as of this time as in your past tenure as the governor of my state, a servant of the American Public, and not their master, as you seem to imagine.
Sincerely,
my actual name, address, daytime phone

New York Post ^ | 4/16/04 | BRIAN BLOMQUIST
Asked whether her role in the Justice Department posed a conflict of interest for Gorelick - who is scrutinizing the terror policies under Clinton and Bush - a 9/11 commission official responded, "She was appointed by Sen. [Tom] Daschle. We didn't do the vetting. He did."

The Salt Lake Tribune ^ | 4-16-04 | Thomas Sowell
All this political grandstanding is taking place in the shadow of the greatest danger our nation has ever faced. North Korea is not only rebuilding its nuclear capacity, it is a threat to sell nuclear weapons to terrorist organizations, including those who planned the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Make no mistake about it. We could wake up some morning and find American cities in smoldering radioactive ruins.

Good God! Thanks, I had not seen that. Rather devastating, in my opinion.
