Jamie Gorelick is on FOX now- and this is a DIRECT QUOTE:

"There WAS no wall"....she claims there was never a wall between the FBI and the CIA. NONE- EVER- and now she's pissed that Gallagher is asking her about the wall (FOX) ...saying she thought she was on the show as a 9/11 commissioner...not as part of the Clinton administration...she was not happy to answer these questions...

Yikes!

[Laverne]

I took a little football break, and then just flipped back to FNC. Trace (yuck) just had on Jamie Gorelick. Did I hear her say that she never built that wall...there was no wall....it was John Ashcroft who put the policies in place that didn't allow the fbi and cia to speak. unbelievable.

Hi back briefly from dinner - yes we do get the Seinfeld Show in the UK on Satellite - have seen trailers for it and it did not seem my cup of tea so have never actually watched the show.

Language variation we call cotton candy - candy floss. :0)

Tony Snow had said something about Brit retiring on his show before he left... next year I think... don't remember.

I remember we sent Brit a lot of emails...

"Don't ever think of retiring Brit, you're all we have."

Tony will be free of his current White House gig no later than January 20, 2009.  I'm going to suggest that Brit needs to hang on till then and get Tony to take over Special Report.

It wasn't OBL, he was fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan then. It was Abu Nidal. He had threatened his life along with Qadafi. OBL didn't turn till around '91, when he got upset that the Saudis were in bed with the US; In 94 the Saudis cut OBL off.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL THOUSAND E-MAILS FROM EVERY STATE IN THE U.S. AND 13 FOREIGN COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE ORIGINATOR PURPORTS TO HAVE RECENTLY VIEWED A VIDEOTAPE OF MY SWORN TESTIMONY BEFORE A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE IN 1987.

A COPY OF ONE OF THOSE E-MAILS IS ATTACHED BELOW. AS YOU WILL NOTE, THE ORIGINATOR ATTRIBUTES TO ME CERTAIN STATEMENTS REGARDING USAMA BIN LADEN AND OTHER MATTERS THAT ARE SIMPLY INACCURATE. THOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO CLAIM THE GIFT OF PROPHESY, I DON'T HAVE IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHO SAW WHAT VIDEO "AT UNC." (OR ANYWHERE ELSE) BUT, FOR THE RECORD, HERE'S WHAT I DO KNOW:

1. IT WAS THE COMMITTEE COUNSEL, JOHN NIELDS, NOT A SENATOR WHO WAS DOING THE QUESTIONING.

2. THE SECURITY SYSTEM, INSTALLED AT MY HOME, JUST BEFORE I MADE A VERY SECRET TRIP TO TEHRAN, COST, ACCORDING TO THE COMMITTEE, $16K, NOT $60K.

3. THE TERRORIST WHO THREATENED TO KILL ME IN 1986, JUST BEFORE THAT SECRET TRIP TO TEHRAN, WAS NOT USAMA BIN LADEN, IT WAS ABU NIDAL (WHO WORKS FOR THE LIBYANS — NOT THE TALIBAN AND NOT IN AFGHANISTAN).

4. I NEVER SAID I WAS AFRAID OF ANYBODY. I DID SAY THAT I WOULD BE GLAD TO MEET ABU NIDAL ON EQUAL TERMS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD BUT THAT I WAS UNWILLING TO HAVE HIM OR HIS OPERATIVES MEET MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ON HIS TERMS.

5. I DID SAY THAT THE TERRORISTS INTERCEPTED BY THE FBI ON THE WAY TO MY HOUSE IN FEB. 87 TO KILL MY WIFE, CHILDREN AND ME WERE LIBYANS, DISPATCHED FROM THE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE FOR LIBYAN STUDENTS IN MCLEAN, VIRGINIA.

6. AND I DID SAY THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD MOVED MY FAMILY OUT OF OUR HOME TO A MILITARY BASE (CAMP LEJEUNE, NC) UNTIL THEY COULD DISPATCH MORE THAN 30 AGENTS TO PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM THOSE TERRORISTS (BECAUSE A LIBERAL FEDERAL JUDGE HAD ALLOWED THE LYBIAN ASSASSINS TO POST BOND AND THEY FLED).

7. AND, FYI: THOSE FEDERAL AGENTS REMAINED AT OUR HOME UNTIL I RETIRED FROM THE MARINES AND WAS NO LONGER A "GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL." BY THEN, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAD SPENT MORE THAN $2M PROTECTING THE NORTH FAMILY. THE TERRORISTS SENT TO KILL US WERE NEVER RE-APPREHENDED.

SEMPER FIDELIS,
OLIVER L. NORTH

I was thinking exactly the same thing - maybe it has already been sorted. (heres to hoping)

[Alas Babylon!]

Actually, an independent McCain would be Hillary's Perot. He would take the votes to the right of her, and barely make a dent in the Republican's vote. I just don't see real republicans and conservatives getting excited over a McCain independent run. And the moonbats wouldn't necessarily vote for her, if say a Nader runs. Than she's squeezed flat in the middle!

Anyway, McCain has said, numerous times on camera, that he'd never run as an independent. Great campaign commercial stuff for his opponents if he ever did.

[Phsstpok]

The thing is, Bush did report his executive order and finding to the appropriate committee members as laid out in the relevant oversight laws and committee rules. That's why talk of Bush "breaking the law" is total BS. The congress can pass a law saying that what Bush told them is wrong and therefore he must stop, but until then Bush's interpretation of and executive orders on the law stand.

If Clinton didn't notify the congressional committees then he is guilty of (yet another) crime.

That would also mean that his people (Clarke?) who testified before the relevant committees and didn't inform them of this are guilty of a crime as well.

[johnny7]

Can they really believe no one's paying attention?! Did that knucklehead challenge her BS?

[gov_bean_ counter]

With Gorelick and Clinton spewing lies that can be easily refuted this is beginning to look like the weekend from hell for the Dems.

[Mo1]

not as part of the Clinton administration

Well it's about time she was .. she has been hiding behind that 9/11 Commission panel member bs

[Crawdad]

Wouldn't that be "moving your boner"?

[SE Mom]

It was unbelievable, actually. She didn't even attempt to couch the remark. "There was NO WALL between the CIA and the FBI"...

Absolutely no-holds barred, flat out L I E.

[OldFriend]

McCain could always find justification for him breaking his promises, betraying America and our brave military the way he has betrayed every trust for decades.

[AliVeritas]

Glad you posted that... I knew Allen bumped up after that 'performance' by the lib reporter. They're also lengthening the 'Allen got slammed in the debate' pieces... so everyone can count Allen out. I'm still pushing for him... if even it was just for the fact they're sliming him.

[CDB]

I think what's gotten him so upset lately is that he's coming to the realization that he can't spin his legacy forever.

Clinton's REAL legacy: Bill Clinton- and Monica Lewinski-brand condoms in Clinton's beloved Communist China

[Alas Babylon!]

It might be funny and ironic, that the next president of the United States is from Massachusetts, but NOT John F'n Kerry!

[AliVeritas]

Well said. I find it interesting that the one procedure used that worked (waterboarding), was the one McCain pressed to get out.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Talk show quandary now. Rush may or may not be all over this. Hannity certainly will cover the interview, but will screw up the analysis. (but he trys hard)
