The commission investigating the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has a critical dual mission to fulfill -- to help our nation understand how the worst assault on our homeland since Pearl Harbor could have occurred and to outline reforms to prevent new acts of terrorism. Under the leadership of former governor Tom Kean and former congressman Lee Hamilton, the commission has acted with professionalism and skill. Its hearings and the reports it has released have been highly informative, if often disturbing.
Sept. 11 united this country in shock and grief; the lessons from it must be learned in a spirit of unity, not of partisan rancor. At last week's hearing, Attorney General John Ashcroft, facing criticism, asserted that "the single greatest structural cause for September 11 was the wall that segregated criminal investigators and intelligence agents" and that I built that wall through a March 1995 memo.

I've seen more skill at a high school debating society tryout!
Still, Mr. Hume pretty well clinched the argument this morning when he noted that "she was a player".
Obviously she has no business on the 9/11 commission ~ no more than would Janet Reno or John Ashcroft.
Get her off of there; get her under oath; question her; find out just what her intentions, if any, really were.
For the Commission to end its work without dealing forthrightly with the Jamie Gorelick question will prove nothing more than that political street theatre works!

Many of the participants have been on talk shows explaining these public hearings are being held for the benefit of the public, so they can better understand what happened and why. My question to them is; if that is the case, why are the really serious details being discussed behind closed doors in the name of national security? If we are to be governed by informed consent we need that information.
The public hearings are nothing more than theatre to pacify the voters and to cover their tracks.
If you look into the background of most of the these players, they have been involved in one scandal/coverup after another for most of my lifetime. They meet behind closed doors, keep the facts secret, further their own careers in government and thus, maintain power in the political arena . . . the uninformed voters go to the polls thinking they are doing the right thing. If knowledge is power, they sure aren't letting voters share in it.
The dumb biatch just set herself up for the knockout punch. The Whitehouse has thousands of such memo's. That's what liberals do, they write memo's on top of memo's.
Wanna know what's funny about that? The "question" asked by the reporter at the lynch mob press conference--Gregory started out by saying (might be paraphrasing a bit here) "You never admit your mistakes" before actually asking the question about what mistakes he might have made.
So tell me folks. What mistakes has anyone from the Clinton administration owned up to? That includes Clarke, because while he "apologized," he cast the blame elsewhere. He did not admit to any specific thing he did, nor did he admit to any specific thing the Clinton admin did.
Bingo!! Let's look at her service at Justice and let's also look at her time at the Pentagon.
All of her "work" needs to see the light of day.
regards,
That wasn't so hard, was it?
Well, Clinton DID apologize for slavery.
...just another example of an another Clintoons' DOD/DOJ official...being given space; by the Clintoons' Media Lackeys (ABCNNBCC_BS,NYT,WP & LAT) for the (infinite # of) excuses of their collective misdeeds.
...and the liberal press "GOES FOR IT" every time...like trained rats, that they are...the reason: to cover for their careful campaign of misinformation/cover-ups of the Clintoons' Regime.
Ain't that the truth!?!
She condoned the paralysis between departments and with Reno strengthened the no-flow information policy. John Ashcroft has had his hands tied from the get go – the Patriot Act will and has opened all doors of communication between law enforcement agencies – but they still must contend with the legal turf wars...
”...al-Shibh was arrested by Pakistani forces, after a yearlong hunt, in a shoot-out in Karachi. His capture complicates the Moussaoui trial. He was turned over to the United States for questioning and brought to an undisclosed military base, and is expected to be tried by a military tribunal. "They're gearing up," Eugene R. Fidell, an expert on military law, said. "This is going to take months to sort out, especially if al-Shibh has exculpatory material, and both sides are probably going to ask for an extension of time. Al-Shibh has to be made available, but what if he takes the Fifth?" The trial, presided over by Judge Leonie M. Brinkema, of the United States District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, is now set for January. Moussaoui's defense team, which has so far been denied access to captured Al Qaeda members, will certainly seek testimony from al-Shibh, according to Edward B. McMahon, Jr., one of Moussaoui's attorneys. "Judge Brinkema is going to have a moment of truth," Fidell said. "It's the highest-stakes poker you could imagine."
Because of the Reno cum-Gorelick departments efforts, Zacarias Moussaoui and others are living in the lap of luxury, using America’s generous justice system and tax dollars. And as has been stated, OBL and the terrorists are getting better protection than American Citizens.
No, Ms. Gorelick, you didn't. But your memo raised it higher. By the memo's own admission: it "goes beyond the existing legal requirements".
You've still got some 'splainin' to do, lady.
We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!
Should have done what Reagan said:
"Ms. Gorelick teardown that wall!"
They can't possibly be wrong. After all they are the brightest, most intelligent and loving people on the face of the earth. They told me so themselves.</sarcasm>

A few partisans? Most polls are showing over 90% wanting her removal!
I have worked hard to help(thwart) the American public understand what happened on Sept. 11. I intend -- with my brethren on the commission -- to finish the job.
She is finished...
From National Review Online 4/13/04 - Commissioner Gorelick, as deputy attorney general — the number two official in the Department of Justice — for three years beginning in 1994, was an architect of the government's self-imposed procedural wall, intentionally erected to prevent intelligence agents from pooling information with their law-enforcement counterparts.
She can clear up everything just by swearing in...
