Hillary Appointee Tied to 9/11 Blunder

Saturday, June 11, 2005 9:32 a.m. EDT Hillary Appointee Tied to 9/11 Blunder

Press reports on Friday about a government report that offers new evidence on how the CIA failed to warn the FBI when two of the 9/11 hijackers entered the U.S. made no mention of the role played in the disastrous bungle by Hillary Clinton's Justice Department protege Jamie Gorelick.

Typical was coverage in the Los Angeles Times, which chronicled the efforts of a frustrated CIA agent who desperately tried to warn the FBI that Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar had migrated to San Diego after attending an Al Qaeda planning session in Malaysia 20 months before the 9/11 attacks.

But instead of delivering the alert that could have helped foil the 9/11 plot, the CIA agent was told to cease and desist by superiors. Noted the Times:

"A chilling new detail of U.S. intelligence failures emerged Thursday, when the Justice Department disclosed that about 20 months before the Sept. 11 attacks, a CIA official had blocked a memo intended to alert the FBI that two known Al Qaeda operatives had entered the country.

"The two men were among the 19 hijackers who crashed airliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania."

As recounted by the Times, in January 2000, a CIA employee began drafting a memo addressed to the FBI's Bin Laden unit chief at bureau headquarters and to its New York field office. The memo contained virtually all of the details known to the agency, about two of the soon-to-be 9/11 hijackers.

"But at 4 p.m. that day," the Times said, another CIA Bin Laden desk officer "added a note to the memo: 'pls hold off on [memo] for now per [the CIA deputy chief of Bin Laden unit].'"

Eight days later, in mid-January, the first agent inquired about his warning on Alhazmi and Almihdhar.

The FBI's 9/11 report reached no conclusion as to why the critical CIA intelligence wasn't shared with the bureau.

But for anyone who watched the 9/11 Commission hearings, the answer is clear.

The FBI and CIA were hamstrung by the "Wall," a set of Justice Department directives issued by Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick that made it illegal for the two agencies to cooperate with each other in terrorism probes.

Testifying before the 9/11 Commission last year, former Attorney General John Ashcroft contended that "the single greatest structural cause for September 11 was the wall that segregated criminal investigators and intelligence agents"

"[Gorelick] built that wall" said Ashcroft, "through a March 1995 memo."

Gorelick's now notorious wall memo instructed prosecutors in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing case:

"We believe that it is prudent to establish a set of instructions that will more clearly separate the counterintelligence investigation from the more limited, but continued, criminal investigations. These procedures, which go beyond what is legally required, will prevent any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance that [the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] is being used to avoid procedural safeguards which would apply in a criminal investigation."

According to now retired New York Times columnist William Safire, Gorelick was tapped for her post by Hillary ally Webster Hubbell after he resigned from the Justice Department in 1994 to face charges of overbilling his legal clients.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Gorelick fulfilled much the same role as Hubbell had, acting as Hillary's "eyes and ears at the Justice Department."

While news of the CIA's scuttled 9/11 warning was a top story throughout the day on Friday - with nearly two dozen mainstream press reports, including a front page story in the New York Times - none of the reports so much as mentioned Gorelick's name; let alone her connection to Mrs. Clinton.

The former first lady is currently seeking the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination based in part on what the media descibes as her strong national security credentials.

Thank you James Baker.

Isn't this interesting?

-- snip --"A chilling new detail of U.S. intelligence failures emerged Thursday, when the Justice Department disclosed that about 20 months before the Sept. 11 attacks, a CIA official had blocked a memo intended to alert the FBI that two known Al Qaeda operatives had entered the country.

And WHO was in power 20 months before September 11? Hint to Leftists: it WASN'T George Bush...EITHER ONE OF THEM.

[Kaslin]

Exactly

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Gorelick was tapped for her post by Hillary ally Webster Hubbell after he resigned from the Justice Department in 1994 to face charges of overbilling his legal clients. Yep. There's the proof that Hillary, as first lady, appointed Gorelick. </sarcasm>

Well, let's see now . . . how did Hubbell "tap her for her post" after he "resigned from the Justice Department"? Someone on the inside must have done it. Inside, as in "under Hillary's thumb."

Here's the deal: Hillary promised her supporters back in '92, "Buy one [Bill] get one [Hillary] free." And not only so, but Bill never survives the Gennifer Flowers revelations if Hillary doesn't "stand by her man like Tammy Wynette."

So if Bill signed welfare reform and you think that's good, credit Hillary. If someone or the other hired Craig Livingstone, and no one in the White House is blamed for hiring him or credited with firing him, blame or credit Hillary for it. Was the first Clinton SecDef a joke who was responsible for Black Hawk Down? Blame Hillary.

[Tunehead54]

Fox News didn't mention Gorelick on Brit Hume's show last night either. They reported the story as though the FBI were completely to blame.

A little too "fair & balanced" and sometimes a little forgetful ... Oh well, better than CNN. ;-)

[Tunehead54]

Here you go - let me know if you find out what she's up to now ...

Google for Gorelick

CLINTON TREASON + THE GORELICK WALL

This story merits its own book, but what deserves immediate comment is the willingness of the Clintons to risk everything to keep the cash pipeline open. Schwartz kept it open and full. Before he was through, Schwartz and Loral would donate roughly $2 million to the Clinton cause. Whether Schwartz gave additional money or favors off the books is a question that deserves asking.

A second question that deserves asking is just how much damage Schwartz, Berger and the Clintons did to America's national security.

A third question worth asking is whether Ron Brown's very real threats to expose these machinations led to his death.

Reverse Gorelick

by Mia T, 4.15.04
QUINN IN THE MORNING (ESSAY DISCUSSED)
(MP3, REAL, WINDOWS MEDIA, WINAMP)

e would have it backwards and miss the point entirely if we were to attribute The Gorelick Wall and the attendant metastasis of al Qaeda during the clintons' watch, (which, incidentally, was then in its incipient stage and stoppable), to the '60s liberal mindset.

Rampant '60s liberalism was not the underlying rationale for The Gorelick Wall.

Rather, The Gorelick Wall was the underlying rationale for--The Gorelick Wall was (insofar as '60s liberalism was the Wall's apparent impetus) a cynical cover for --the willful, methodical malpractice and malfeasance that was the product of the virulent clinton strain of rampant '60s liberalism.

While it is true that The Gorelick Wall was the convenient device of a cowardly self-serving president, The Wall's aiding and abetting of al Qaeda was largely incidental, (the pervasiveness of the clintons' Nobel-Peace-Prize calculus notwithstanding).

The Wall was engineered primarily to protect a corrupt self-serving president. The metastasis of al Qaeda and 9/11 were simply the cost of doing business, clinton-style.

Further confirmation of the Wall-as-cover-for-clinton-corruption thesis:

• Gorelick's failure to disclose the fact that she authored the memo that was the efficient cause of 911
• Gorelick's surreal presence on the 911 commission investigating Gorelick's Justice Department, a maneuver that effectively removes from the universe of witnesses a central witness, Gorelick, even as it uniquely positions a central player, Gorelick, to directly shape the commission's conclusions. (Is there any question which two people are responsible for Gorelick's insertion on the commission?)

Conversely, that it never occurred to anyone on the commission that Gorelick's flagrant conflict of interest renders her presence on the commission beyond farce calls into question the commission's judgment if not its integrity. Washington's mutual protection racket writ large, I suspect.

The Gorelick Wall is consistent with, and an international extension of, two essential acts committed in tandem, Filegate, the simultaneous empowering of the clintons and disemboweling of clinton adversaries, and the clinton Putsch, the firing and replacement of every U.S. attorney extant.

Filegate and the clinton Putsch,
committed in tandem,
the product of a careful criminal calculus,
at once empowered clinton
and disemboweled his opponents.
clinton was now free to betray with abandon
not only our trust,
but the Constitution as well.

The Common Man

Allegations of international clinton crimes swirling around the White House in 1995 and beyond support The-Wall-as-cover-for-international-clinton-crimes thesis.

Once the clintons' own U.S. attorneys were in place, once the opposition was disemboweled by the knowledge that their raw FBI files had been in the possession of the clintons, once domestic law enforcement was effectively blinded to foreign data by Gorelick's Wall, the clintons were free to methodically and seditiously and with impunity auction off America's security, sovereignty and economy to the highest foreign bidder.

Who nominated her to serve on this commission?

Little Tommy Daschle appointed Gorelick.

[Liberty Valance]

Thanks for the info. The deomocratic party really is a criminal interprise.

[sport]

I wouldn't exactly say nobody questioned the appointment. Many of us sent faxes and e-mails demanding that she be removed.

And the powers to be did as they always do, they ignored our demands, and did as they pleased.

We only mean something to them on election day. After that, it is go back under the porch and let the big dogs play. We know best what is best for you.

[Enterprise]

"And the powers to be did as they always do, they ignored our demands, and did as they pleased."

Yes they did. But the appointment was questioned.

[sport]

Thank God for small miracles.

[Lone Red Ranger]

This is going to leave a mark.

Might want to put some ice on that.

She is also tied to the billions of dollars lost by Fannie May. And she is not in a orange jump suit.

[flamefront]

And according to newsmax today -

Ms. Gorelick is expected to be a leading candidate for attorney general should Mrs. Clinton win the 2008 presidential election.

[danamco]

Maybe you're right but Hillary had to be pushing for Jamies' position on the commission to cover any possible tracks to her husband's administration which would ultimately reflect on her.



And then they sent Sandy Burglar to the Archives with a photo-cell-phone!??!
