"I'm the only commissioner aside from the chairman and vice chairman who has seen all the [Presidential Daily Briefings]," 9/11 panel member Jamie Gorelick told MSNBC Thursday night.

Well, this special access didn't help poor Jamie one bit. Condi wiped the floor with her. Without even raising a sweat.

Gorelick! Thats almost as bad as Clintonlick.

[Cold Heat]

She is also known to have buried the TWA 800 investigation.

The question here is........did the dems choose her to cover something up, or expose something.

My guess is that she is there to cover for clinton and shift the blame to Bush.

The reward will be a big job with the so called kerry admin.

Reno is also said to have advised President Clinton to turn down an offer from Sudan for bin Laden's extradition to the U.S. in 1996, because he could not legally be held under U.S. statutes according to her interpretation of the law.

But according to Reno's interpretation of the Constitution, she could use the military to attack and burn children and pregnant women in their home. She lets a terrorist off the hook. She commits terrorism against U.S. citizens. Sounds like Reno's interpretation of the law is just about equivalent to that of the terrorists.

Gorelick has never publicly explained what, if any, role she played in Justice Department recommendations that bin Laden not be dealt with more forcefully prior to the 9/11 attacks.

As an American citizen, I request Gorelick make televised sworn testimony of her knowledge of AQ, OBL, the Taliban, and SH.

So, why is this not being reported in the national media? You really should send this out to them all.

As deputy attorney general, Gorelick played a key role in shaping – some would say "corrupting" – the outcome of the TWA Flight 800 investigation. Given what she knows, Gorelick could play an even more critical role in determining "prior knowledge" about the events of Sept. 11. But the question remains: Did congressional Democrats appoint Gorelick to share the truth or suppress it? She has the power to do either.

In 1994, Gorelick assumed the deputy position after Clinton crony Webster Hubbell resigned in disgrace. In time, she would hand it on to her successor, Eric Holder, who himself would be disgraced in the Marc Rich affair.

Gorelick was much brighter and more nimble than either and kept a lower profile. Like them, however, she served as the "political officer" in the 100,000-employee department, the eyes and ears of the administration, the one who could be trusted. An article in the June 3, 1996, Newsweek, six weeks before the crash of TWA Flight 800, described, for instance, how Gorelick had set up a "campaign-like war room" in her office because "in a campaign year, Justice can't afford to be totally blind."

No, in a campaign year, with the president's survival at stake, Justice could not afford to be blind at all. On Aug. 22, 1996, Jim Kallstrom, who headed up the FBI investigation into TWA 800, was summoned to Washington to be served up a dose of survival reality. His boss, Louis Freeh, had little to do with the summons or the investigation. Nor did Freeh's boss, Attorney General Janet Reno. Although both were ineffectual, neither was entirely reliable. The task of reining in Jim Kallstrom would fall to Gorelick. At this juncture in the investigation, even if Gorelick knew no more than what she read in the New York Times, she would have known that explosive residue had been found all over the plane and that the possibility of a mechanical failure was more "remote" than ever.

The search for "prior knowledge" is at the heart of the 9-11 Commission. No one on the commission is in a better position to shed light on this issue than Jamie Gorelick. She could begin by sharing the contents of her meeting with Jim Kallstrom on Aug. 22, 1996. This presumes, of course, that congressional Democrats appointed Gorelick because they wanted her to shed light and share information. The cynic in me, however, suspects that Gorelick was appointed for rather the opposite reason.

Perhaps her name was changed to her current one for a reason?

[Lucky2]

This just goes to prove one more time that this commission is on a political witch hunt to destroy President Bush at any cost. There is no reason in the world that that gorelick woman should have had access to those files. It's a disgrace.
P.S. Her name leads me to wonder....

[PogySailor]

Gorelick was the Clinton administration's deputy attorney general under Janet Reno, who repeatedly urged the White House not to attack bin Laden after the bombings of the USS Cole and two U.S. embassies in East Africa.

Blood....boiling...fist....clinched....AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Ah, I feel better now.
