I'm not as polite in today's letter to Kean, that many on this thread are. Here it is:

Dear Mr. Kean,

After the revelations brought forth to the committee by Attorney General Ashcroft yesterday, highlighting Jamie Gorelicks involvement in strengthening the mandates of "The Wall" between the CIA and FBI, it is my belief that at minimum, she has a conflict of interest in serving on the 9-11 Commission that can no longer be ignored.

Ms. Gorelick should put the country first and step down from the commission. If she refuses to do this, the commission should ask her to resign. This is NOT about face-saving and reputations. This is about national security.

It seems Ms. Gorelick is directly involved with tying the hands of the government agencies to the extent that they were doomed to fail. That she didn't reveal this to the commission indicates her desire to hide this fact. I believe she should be summoned as a witness and questioned by the commission.

I'll send one to her now.....

Dear Sir:

In light of yesterday's revelation regarding Jamie Gorelick's role in the development of U.S. Justice Department policy restricting contact between the FBI and CIA in the 1990s, I am asking you to demand her resignation from your 9/11 commission. Her actions as a former Justice Department official in the Clinton administration have thoroughly compromised her ability to even feign any objectivity in her role on this body. In fact, her position in the Clinton administration makes her more suited to serve as a witness before this commission than a member of it.

Beyond that, I find it utterly disgraceful that someone in her position would be permitted to serve at all on a commission before which current and former White House and Justice Department officials would be asked to testify.

Sincerely,
