as Rush was saying, you have to start with the basic thesis that the washington inner circle, first and foremost, protects itself. the defense of Gorelick by other comittee members, even republicans, shows this clearly. only Ashcroft had the stones to say a word about her.
it would be very easy to investigate these claims, call witnesses (Gorelick herself being one of them), find out what is true and what is not.
There is no doubt in my mind that farcical 9/11 commission played to a specific outcome to curb the growing hate between us and them. Personally no spin by any politician on ether side can convince me that the wall set up for the purpose of limiting investigations that would show the treasonous nature (Chinagate for one)of Clinton's Red brigades did not lead to other breakdowns that might have prevented the belligerent attack on America. But I have a great deal of respect for Pod, Hammer, and Ger, so maybe we shouldn't get our hopes up?
