Time for Ashcroft to bring out some more dirty laundry!!

[Enterprise]

"We wanted to treat everybody fairly,"

Vomitous is the nicest word that comes to mind here.

The commission had no problem calling Condi for public testimony. The commission in its current state is useless. Since Congress authorized it, Congress can change it. Try again but don't use politicians this time.

Looks like the CLOWNS just toasted themself.

[etcetera]

Put on your tin foil hat!

Here's my take on this:

The Commssion knew about the Gorelick memo before Ashcroft "revealed" it. To protect Clinton, Albright, and Gorelick, Senator Daschle put Gorelick on the Commission so she wouldn't have to testify.

OK to remove tin foil hat now.

[Howlin]

Wasn't Gorelick the "author" of that policy, too?

[elli1]

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.

BS. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz testified before the 9/11 commission.

Everybody check Rush's website later today for his take on the real issue with the 1995 Gorelick memo. I was only half listening, but Rush mentioned something about why Gorelick really wrote her memo .. to KEEP INFORMATION ABOUT CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN FUNDS FROM THE CHINESE from becoming part of the criminal investigation.

NOW .. THIS IS A BOMBSHELL!!

And .. weren't there 2 deputies from the AG's office ..??

Let her stay on the panel .. it totally corrupts the panel and their report.

I have wondered if Kean is proud of the job he's doing ..?? I would imagine he is .. because he's only doing it for himself .. and it's certainly not for the benefit of America.

Relax people, it's just another giant waste of the tax payers money.

"We were asked to do the definitive account of the 9/11 attacks and make recommendations for a safer country," Mr. Felzenberg said. "We have two more hearings and then we have a report to write."

By ignoring part of the state of the record (see the Gorelick memo) and what policies were in place and why?

Mr.Flezenberg, this commission's report will never be a definitive account of 9/11. Never.

[cyncooper]

And Wolfowitz has testified...

[Ann Archy]

Kean and Lehman know that Jamie has their FBI files!!! WAKE UP KEANY!!! You are a Laughing stock!!

[cyncooper]

They are all laughingstocks.

What is this crap about Gorelick privately talking after they raised such a ruckous to make Rice testify publicly and they stand by mutely as Bush and Cheney get pilloried for appearing privately.

And THEN this "commission's" spokesman puts out a flat out lie about no deputy level persons testifying. This commission is putting out bald faced LIES.

My favorite--and one of the most atrocious--was that smarmy Ben Veniste LYING from his seat that the August 6, 2001 PDB title had been never publicly revealed until he asked Rice and she answered. He was LYING.

They are thoroughly discredited.

[Ann Archy]

I looked up "Smarmy" in the dictionary and there was a picture of Richard Ben Vineste. PUNK THUG.....Democrat Mob Lawyer.

[BushisTheMan]

I heard last night that 25 Republican House members have now drafted a letter to the 9/11 commission asking not only for her to testify but also to resign.

We must keep up the pressure on the 9/11 commission as well as our representatives.

Mention the purpose of Gorelick's memo was to keep the Clinton's safe from prosecurting and from the world finding out about the Clintons dastardly deeds.
