Call on Jamie S. Gorelick to Resign from the 9-11 Commission (click here)
The 9/11 Commission ^ | 4/14/04 | jmstein7

Call on Jamie S. Gorelick to Resign from the 9-11 Commission

From the AP:

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner called on Jamie Gorelick to resign from the Sept. 11 commission Wednesday, citing a memo she wrote as a deputy attorney general on separating counterintelligence from criminal investigations. "Scrutiny of this policy lies at the heart of the commission's work," said Sensenbrenner, R-Wis. "Ms. Gorelick has an inherent conflict of interest as the author of this memo and as a government official at the center of the events in questions."

On Tuesday, Attorney General John Ashcroft released the declassified 1995 memo from Gorelick containing instructions that "more clearly separate" counterintelligence from criminal investigations. He said the "wall" between counterintelligence and criminal investigations was a key impediment to terrorism probes before the Sept. 11 attacks.

The Landmark Legal Foundation, a conservative law firm, also has called on Gorelick to step down, citing the memo.

A phone message left with the Sept. 11 commission was not immediately returned Wednesday.

I ask you to send the following email -- or your own -- asking Ms. Gorelick to do the right thing and step down.  Please flood the commission with these emails.

Send the email to the following address: info@9-11Commission.gov; info@9-11Commission.gov

You may also phone the commission here: 

Tel: (202) 331-4060

Fax: (202) 296-5545

Sample email is as follows:


Subject:  Do the Right Thing -- Resign

Dear Ms. Gorelick,

Please do the right thing and step down from the 9/11 Commission.

In 1995, as Deputy Attorney General of the Clinton Administration, you drafted and signed a memo creating a wall between counterintelligence and criminal investigation, a key impediment to terrorism probes before the Sept. 11 attacks.  As House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner averred, "[s]crutiny of this policy lies at the heart of the commission's work."

This presents a severe and impermissible conflict of interest.  There is "an inherent conflict of interest as [you are] the author of this memo and [are] a government official at the center of the events in questions."

Ms. Gorelick -- please do the right thing.  If America is to believe that the 9/11 Commission is not merely a partisan sham aimed solely at damaging the Bush Administration, you must resign your position in light of this gross political conflict of interest.

I trust you will do the honorable thing and resign.

Sincerely,

YOUR NAME, YOUR ADRRESS, ETC.

My email to the commission...

After John Ashcroft's testimony before the commission it's obvious Ms. Jamie Gorelick cannot be trusted to be involved in formulating effective recommendations to improve our our national security and protect innocent Americans from terror. She was, according to General Ashcroft:

-Very instrumental in building and strengthening the intelligence sharing wall between the FBI and the CIA leading to the massive intelligence failure before the 9-11 attack. Point of fact, She was the actual architect of the "wall".

-Her Law firm is defending a Saudi Terror suspect,

-She is one of the more contentious and partisan members. She is politicizing a fact finding commission.

Our country is reeling from that atrocity and rapid preventive action is imperative! Ms. Gorelick obviously has a "cover her butt partisan agenda". Her judgement, based on her history, is suspect and SHE MUST RESIGN or Be Removed. A VERY concerned American citizen, Robert Eimiller, (my address deleted)
