From L to R: Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil, and National Insecurity Adviser Berger.

A very interesting memo from former US Attorney for Manhattan Mary Jo White apparently escaped being smuggled out of the National Archives in Sandy Burglar's pants. It turns out that White, who aggresively prosecutor terrorists responsible for the first WTC attack, told Jamie Gorelick that the infamous wall she built between intelligence and criminal justice would lead to disaster.
"This is not an area where it is safe or prudent to build unnecessary walls or to compartmentalize our knowledge of any possible players, plans or activities," wrote White, herself a Clinton appointee.
"The single biggest mistake we can make in attempting to combat terrorism is to insulate the criminal side of the house from the intelligence side of the house, unless such insulation is absolutely necessary. Excessive conservatism . . . can have deadly results."
She added: "We must face the reality that the way we are proceeding now is inherently and in actuality very dangerous."
In fact, the memo made it to the 9-11 Commission, but nobody took much note of it. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to have a person implicated in the memo sitting on the Commission. Conflict of interest is obvious here.
We are now into cover-up territory. And it is a huge story. The 9-11 Commission was charged with a responsibility of utmost seriousnes. Instead of resporting honestly on the problems which led to the 9-11 plotters remaining unmolested by those charged with protecting us, the Commission ignored serious evidence of a major flaw.
Remember that we undertook a huge reorganization of government based ont he recommendations of the Commission. Recommendations that were inherently flawed because of a cover-up of as yet unknown dimensions.
The media Democrats will have no interest in pursuing the story, of course, because it implicates the entire Clinton Administration, highlighting its fundamental unseriousness about the terror threat. But they won't be able to bottle-up the story. It is far too juicy. By downplaying the story, they are slitting their own throats, losing audience and convincing more people that they are not to be trusted.
The average voter is worried about terror, and remains deeply offended by the atack. Decades of media obsession with Watergate have tauight us all the cover-up scandals are fascinating and important. And the mascot of the whole affair, portly Sandy Berger with documents stuffed in his pants, is just far too funny an image to be ignored.
Not quite ... witness Deb Orin's story in today's NY Post
NY'S CASSANDRA
By DEBORAH ORIN
August 17, 2005 -- PRESIDENT Bill Clinton's team ignored dire warnings that its approach to terrorism was "very dangerous" and could have "deadly results," according to a blistering memo just obtained by The Post.
Then-Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White wrote the memo as she pleaded in vain with Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick to tear down the wall between intelligence and prosecutors, a wall that went beyond legal requirements.

But the typos in the text are very annoying.

This is the one statement in this article that I believe is absolutely incorrect. If you want to deal with a serious issue, the last thing you do is name a "commission" to oversee it. And if you want to make absolutely sure that a commission is utterly incompetent in dealing with it, you name some mediocrity like Tom Kean to head it.
The 9/11 Commission was nothing more than a staged event.

Can anyone find an article that had to do with the fact that Clinton hardly ever met with the CIA or the FBI while POTUS? This has got to be revisited. I just have a faint memory of this being bandied about prior to 9/11 when it didn't have much impact except for the fact that he really was a clown and a porn king while he was in the O.O.
Even the agust Wall Street Journal editorialized that we were making too much of the sandy Burglar episode. Hope they like the taste of crow.
Ya think?
The Demrats. . .Media and Congressional will create/focus on bigger stories;they will add, smoke and mirrors to deflect this story and it's truth. . .they will grow news if necessary; ANYthing, rather than report their ugly truth. . .
The Repubs are going to HAVE to make this run. . .it has legs; we just have to move them; every day; every interview. . .and of course, there must be an investigation - of the investigation.
What I do not understand is why we did not challenge, the first time. Instead, Sandy Berger 'walked'. . .and GW praised the Commission for a 'job well done'.
Do Repubs really have what it takes. . .to get from 'here' to there? Exposing all the treasonous farce of Clinton Inc. . .including this Commission?
From National Review Online
Never once in his two-year tenure did CIA director James Woolsey ever have a one-on-one meeting with Clinton. Even semiprivate meetings were rare. They only happened twice. Woolsey told me: "It wasn't that I had a bad relationship with the president. It just didn't exist."
FACT: The media Democrats will have no interest in pursuing the story.
FACT: The National Archives in Sandy Burglar's pants…”
FACT:The average voter is worried about terror.
Enough about the tattered Sheehan woman-cum-terrorist lover-cum-traitor-use the law of seditious libel for this American Imposter - the average voter supports the President and the WOT.
Enough about Aruba and that sad story. Bring on Mary Jo White's papers; bring on the disclosure of Jamie Gorelick and Richard Ben-Veniste, the main Democratic Operatives for the egregiously derelict 9/11 commission.
Janet Reno should be in the witness box also, she allowed the WALL to remain for what? The Clintons? Madeline Albright? Or just protecting the whole Clinton administration. Sandy Berger just may have stuffed into his pants, the answers to all these questions.
Let me make one correction...

Berger.
This is the Downing Street Memo that's been all the rage with the DUmmies, right?
Sarcasm off, just in case.
And Fed prosecutors
The Spin is on ... The NYT article blames "The Pentagon"
