NATIONAL DISGRACE, CONT'D - Memo Just Tip of the Iceberg

April 15, 2004 -- House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner has demanded the resignation of Jamie Gorelick as a member of the federal 9/11 Commission. Frankly, given her blatant conflicts of interest, she should never have been appointed in the first place.

And what was Commission Chairman Tom Kean's response to calls for Gorelick's dismissal or resignation?

"People ought to stay out of our business," he huffed.

Hey Kean .. go pound sand .. THIS IS OUR BUSINESS!!

This is our national security that you are playing games with and who the heck do you think you are??

I'll bet this mouth-breathing RINO is also a Howard Stern fan.

That really was an odd statement. As I understand it, this commission was formed by both Congress and The White House. It is their business and Kean appears to be over reaching a bit.

I saw Ben the Nasty on TV..Ted Olson had just said in an interview with LKL that the commissioners should not be doing TV interviews ,etc.

Nasty said Kean asked them to make themselves available to the media.Don't they realize how flawed and biased THEY look?

I want at least FOX to get the 40 families that took out the ad supporting Bush on the air. It is past time to get the "other side of the story" out there.

Ben told Larry he wasn't aware of any criticism of his style..he's so busy with a trial,etc.When questioned about the difference between his "style" with Clarke he said Clarke's testimony had checked out as far as facts and that's why he went easy on him(we know the Millenium story wasn't accurate.)He said the Iraq opinions aren't important to their inquiry...

He has indicated that he thinks the PDB Aug 6 memo should have led to actions,questions,suggestions..Bush is in his sights.

To be honest .. I don't want to see either side

What I would like to see is an honest investigation as to what went wrong and fix it.

Could they do something as simple as that?? .. Nooooooooooo

They used this commission to play political games with our lives so they could use President Bush as a punching bag before the elections

And Kean is too stupid to see that

Far from "stupid". It is obvious that this is turning into a quest to bring a president down. Kean is looking at all that entails to his otherwise inauspicious life.

Then WHY did Bob Kerrey make the comment he did about our "Christian Army" in Iraq?

Ben is Liar about Clarke .. the facts don't check out

As it turns out, the memo is just the tip of the iceberg concerning Gorelick's questionable fitness as a member of the panel.

That's because she's a litigation partner in one of Washington's most high-powered Democratic law firms - Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering.

And that firm represents Prince Mohammed al-Faisal al-Saud, a member of the Saudi royal family and director of a key Saudi financial agency, against a lawsuit filed by a coalition of 600 Sept. 11 families.

.........

One of its subsidiaries is the Al-Shamil Islamic Bank, whose directors include Osama bin Laden's half-brother and his brother-in-law.

According to congressional testimony last October by Jean-Charles Brisard, an international expert on terrorism financing, the Swiss-based DMI "is one of the central structures in Saudi Arabia's financing of international Islam," and is rooted in the House of Saud's "support for the radical Islamic cause."

HOLY SH*T!

Gorelick, who might have become attorney general in an Al Gore administration, could get that same job if John Kerry wins in November.

No, that possibility is long gone. Gorelick is toast.
