[history]
The September 11 commission rebuffed a request from Republican senators that panelist Jamie S. Gorelick testify publicly about her handling of U.S. counterterrorism efforts as President Clinton's deputy attorney general.
She will not testify because she was not on the original witness list drawn up by the commission and because no other deputy-level officials have been asked to testify, a commission spokesman said.

She will not testify because she was not on the original witness list drawn up by the commission And what if Osama bin Laden himself offered to testify? Oops, he's not on the original list, sorry...
and because no other deputy-level officials have been asked to testify, a commission spokesman said.
No deputy-level officials? What about Richard Clarke?

I see the commissioner Kerrey is scheduled to go on the "Comedy Channel" tonight.
Maybe he should bring the rest of the commission with him.

In the end their "findings" won't be worth the paper they are written on.

Ms. Gorelick already has been interviewed for the commission in private, according to Mr. Felzenberg, and there is no need for her to do so publicly. So had Condi and she was forced to testify publicly.

This panel may as well consist of Bob Woodward, Dick Clarke, Michael Moore, Al Franken, Ted Kennedy....you get the idea.

"She will not testify because she was not on the original witness list drawn up by the commission"
I guess similar logic prevents them from moving Mansoor Ijaz from the original "private testimony" to the "public testimony" list...

"Ms. Gorelick already has been interviewed for the commission in private, according to Mr. Felzenberg, and there is no need for her to do so publicly."
Not by the 'commission' to gain information, but to see if it (I won't genderize any (ex)member from x42)would pass the socialist muster.
So far .. so good.
Gotta' go puke.

Anybody a good cartoonist? I imagine a cartoon of board of inquiry where sheep are the witnesses and investigators with one wolf in sheep's clothing (labeled "Gorelick") sitting on the panel. The wolf is saying something like, "This panel is being conveined to determine who is at fault for the death of Fluffy the Sheep."

What can we do?? If we all write letters to our elected officials, demanding that Gorelick testify?? According to the 9-11 Commission website
The Commission's eleventh public hearing on "Emergency Response" will be held May 18-19, 2004, at New School University in New York City.
We could send letters and post cards to the commission members "in care of" that address.---The mail could be waiting for them there. The address for the school is
New School University
66 W. 12th Street
New York, NY
10011Since Kerrey is President of New School, he would definitely get mail addressed to him there.

This doesn't matter anyway, no one gives this panel any credibility now. Even if they do end up putting Gorelick under oath, the partisianship already sunk the panel.
