Jamie Gorelick

For those of us who were in the trenches of the struggle against militant Islam beginning in the early 1990s, it is jarring to hear, of all people, Jamie Gorelick ? now a member of the 9/11 Commission ? hectoring government officials about their asserted failure to perceive how essential it is that the right pieces of intelligence get into the right hands. Equally bracing is to read the account of Gorelick's star witness, former counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke ? that hero of the last 15 minutes ? who bemoans how, even though he "had asked to know if a sparrow fell from a tree" during the summer 2001, the FBI and CIA nonetheless failed to stitch together disconnected bits of information about al Qaeda operatives and flight schools.

No one in his right mind could say that intelligence breakdowns related to 9/11 are not worth exploring. At issue, though, is the proper explorer. One would have hoped the appearance of objectivity, never mind the reality, would be the 9/11 Commission's guiding compass. Instead, the panel is beset by a gargantuan conflict of interest ? and it's starting to show.

THE ARCHITECT AS JUDGE
Commissioner Gorelick, as deputy attorney general ? the number two official in the Department of Justice ? for three years beginning in 1994, was an architect of the government's self-imposed procedural wall, intentionally erected to prevent intelligence agents from pooling information with their law-enforcement counterparts. That is not partisan carping. That is a matter of objective fact. That wall was not only a deliberate and unnecessary impediment to information sharing; it bred a culture of intelligence dysfunction. It told national-security agents in the field that there were other values, higher interests, that transcended connecting the dots and getting it right. It set them up to fail. To hear Gorelick lecture witnesses about intelligence lapses is breathtaking.

Jamie Gorelick also served as Asst. attorney General under Janet Reno which explains alot, she sits on this panel and not once has mentioned she authored the memo that put a wall up between the FBI and CIA to share info, should she not have recused herself from the 911 panel ? I think so, shit what a conflict of intrest.

everyone keeps going on and on about the comission being bi-partisan

ok that will never really be 100% but ok

but there's Janet reno who is probably going to try and save her as

how bout a commission free of people who are going to try and save their own asses

And why can't they inforce purjury rules like for a regular court case *turns and looks blatently at Condeleeza Rice....

Now children What is the 1st and most important rule!

Hell now, all these mistakes make my jaded little brain think that "they" ie: Cheney and Haliburtion and co. really did ugh I won't even say it.

I will say this though Condeleeza Rice blamed everyone for 9/11 but the people of the US themselves everyone but herself and her puppetteers.

God we needed some people from Straight on that fucking panal. anyone agree. She probably would of confessed to everything and a whole bunch of shit that didn't happen too.

How could you expect Condie Rice to take full blame for 911, The Clinton administration boffled 3 attempts to get Bin Laden, I think Condie handled herself far better than any one of those self rightous panel members could have even wihsed. Fact of the matter is 911 happened and Al Cadea is relishing the fact that we are doing nothing but pointing fingers at eachother.

kaydeejaded:
but you have to admit condi was aware of the time and tended to talk around in circles wasting time so that questions could not be asked

I do not place the blame on this administration I think the Clintion administration was also responsible. But I think the ball was most definately dropped

and Condeleeza lied, Call it Straight hangover syndrome but she lied! she said "no meniton of attacks on US soil in the memo" the memo is released and boom there it is the US menitoned.

A lie a lie! I wonder if it is just a "straight thing" like brushing your teeth in the shower...but shit like that bothers me to no end.

It is like "she lied she lied!!!!!!" that should not be acceptable if you will lie about one thing what else will you lie about?
