Ms. Gorelick was appointed to the commission by Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, South Dakota Democrat, and former House Democratic leader and presidential candidate Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri. Hyper-partisans members of the 9/11 commission; Richard Ben-Veniste, Jamie Gorelick and Tim Roemer, report back regularly to Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle for political fine-tuning.
Ms. Gorelick should not be a commission member, she should be a star witness. Testifying before the commission should properly be Ms. Gorelick's only role, not sitting as a member of this 'independent' commission. She ought to be called on as a witness because that memo went beyond what the law required. There's no way the commission or Gorelick can have an objective conclusion as a result of her investigating her own memorandum.
When you ask hard questions of people who are in office, they take offense, she [Ms. Gorelick] said. The chairman of the bipartisan commission, former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean, backed her up, telling reporters, "People ought to stay out of our business".
