Why not blame Gorelick.

"To hear Gorelick lecture witnesses about intelligence lapses is breathtaking," he added.

Galling, as well.

Clinton NSC Attacks "Losing bin Laden" Author
The Washington Times ^ | September 23, 2003 | Roger Cressey and Gayle Smith, Clinton NSC

"After September 11, some Clinton officials admitted their mistakes. Jamie Gorelick, a deputy attorney general in the Clinton Justice Department, told the Boston Globe: "Clearly, not enough was done. We should have caught this. Why this happened, I don't know . . . We should have prevented this." Nancy Soderberg, a member of Clinton's National Security Council, added: "In hindsight, it wasn't enough, and anyone involved in policy would have to admit that."

Clinton Assigns Blame [What did they know and when did they know it? Pre-GWB]
National Review ^ | Originally published: November 8, 2001 | Kevin M. Cherry

"In 1996, President Clinton charged Al Gore with improving airline security. But the commission he led "focused on civil liberties" and "not effectiveness," according to the Boston Globe. The commission concluded that "no profile [of passengers] should contain or be based on... race, religion, or national origin." The FAA also decided, in 1999, to seal its passenger screening system from law-enforcement databases — thus preventing the FBI from notifying airlines that suspected terrorists were on board."

GORELICK, THE EARLY YEARS

[Graymatter]

I'd fault her for bad judgment, incompetence, hypocrisy, and the rest of the Democratic line of goods, but let it go at that. The President got it right, bin Laden is responsible. That way has clarity. Scapegoating always gets messy, like a food fight, every participant winds up with splatter.

That said, she should resign, and indeed the commission should disband altogether. It's a disgrace in itself.

Next to her boss Clinton, and perhaps Clarke, she does seem to have been the most responsible for the failure of American national security.

The Dems asked, right after 9/11, that we ignore the failings of the Clinton administration that had encouraged and allowed AQ to pull off the attack for the good of the nation and the good of the WoT. The press obliged, obviously, but so did most of the Reps.

I think their hypocritical attempt to play the blame game should mean the gloves are off now. We will see if the Reps step up to the plate. Lord onlys know what it will take for them to see playing the nice guys is never going to work with the current incarnation of the left.

By the standards of this commission, Julius Streicher should have been a judge at the Nuremberg trials, not a defendent.
