I saw that, too. But we need to know if this was the DOD's lawyers, the admin's WH lawyers, a combination, whatever. Somehow I think the decision to give Atta a pass went higher up the food chain than the DOD. That would fit a pattern that's forming. A very nasty pattern.
This story has literally left me breathless and angered beyond comprehension.
Who is this guy Zelikow? I've read a couple of bios, seems to be a policy wonk and Republican. Anybody?
Just imagine once we have a guest worker plan shoved down our throats.
Say what you want about Savage, he IS THE ONLY ONE, who discusses the real danagers to our country and the enemy within.
Although I love Rush, its getting sooooooooo boring, Bush is good RATS are bad, over and over and over and over. Hannity is even worse.
Philip D. Zelikow
Executive Director
National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
He is associated with the Aspen Group, and also co-authored a book with Condoleeza Rice.

I heard about this the other day on TalkRadio. Very scary. Political correctness run amuck.
And we all know the 911 commision was just trying to absolve Clinton and blame Bush.
How long before we hear "Attornay Client Priveledge." Wonder if this sheds any light on what Sandy Burlgar was stuffing in his drawers?
Well, I can't take a hit, that would be wrong....
Pathetic to hate your country so much that you wish it harm.
They are. Indictments are likely. Gorelick was EVP and General Counsel at Fannie Mae when it violated about 100 accounting rules in order to prop up its share price and trigger huge bonuses to all the executives. Gorelick got almost a million dollars in bonus for 1998. The Clintons set her up in this cushy and lucrative job after she carried their water for 6 years at DoD and DOJ. She knew nothing about housing or mortgages yet suddenly ended up as the #3 executive at Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae was a Democrat slush fund operation for years, first under CEO Jim Johnson (Walter Mondale's campaign manager) and then under Frank Raines (Clinton's first budget director.) It's all going to come out when the DOJ finishes its investigations. Many Democrats in Washington are extremely nervous about it.
