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.

Who decided Gorelick (GORE-LICK) had the credientials and requirements to be on the commission anyway?

It had to have been agreed on in a bipartisan meeting somewhere with Republicans giving her the nod at the outset of the hearings, now didn't it?

This will be another "test" to see if these hearings are bonafide legitimate or bonafide whitewash.

Unless Gorelick comes off the panel, we have another McCarthy Inquisition on our hands.

Nasty said Kean asked them to make themselves available to the media.

I heard Kean say this himself and he added that they want to keep everything out in the open. All this makes his "people should stay out of our business" statement all the more outrageous. He has no idea what a bad joke his commission is. Out here in mid-America we recognize that smell.

So Gorelick is behind the "institutional structural yadda yadda" that prevented sharing of information that could have stopped 9/11. And Doris Meissner, while at INS during the Clinton Admin was behind the weakening of visa and immigration rules which allowed the terrorists to gain easy access to the U.S. And wasn't Al Gore involved in recommending standards for airport security? And didn't the Clinton admin dictate zero tolerance for racial and ethnic profiling that at one time would have nabbed the terrorists before they could ever board an airplane?

The Clinton Admin could have hardly set the table for Al Qeada any better if they were a sleeper cell themselves.

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

For this statement, Kean ought resign, as well as Gorelick.

Don't get me started .. I still haven't calmed down from "The Jersey Girls" appearance on TV with Chrissy Mothballs

I like this Mo.....a real flamethrower.

I heard what Kean said.......someone today needs to lower the hammer on him .......taxpayer money funds his little three ring circus.

For the good of the copuntry she should step down. Even Orin Hatch could make this case.

When the commission was set up......by President Bush.....he picked 5 members ....and told Daschle he could pick 5 members. Bi-partisanship dont you know.

Now here is something interesting I read in some article a couple of weeks ago the 5 RAT Commission members talk with Daschle once a week.....to go over the coming weeks agenda.

Well, well, well. Probably they are coordinating with Kerry's campaign as well.

If I were the President, I would be tempted to remove the Republicans and replace them with Bob Dornan and a few others. But that's me, and I suppose we are stuck with our mealy-mouthed members.

I really think the democrats have been disgraceful.

EXCELLENT POINTS!! But I would contend the Clinton admin. WAS AND IS a sleeper cell.

What went wrong is we were attacked. The way to fix it is to annihilate those that attacked us. Unless the people on this commission can carry a rifle or fly a jet, I don't see much use for them.

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

What went wrong is that terrorists decided to attack us in the homeland.

"Security" is a joke, a nebulous concept that will always have exploitable holes.

President Bush has the only correct answer: Hunt down and kill terrorists wherever they are found.

taxpayer money funds his little three ring circus.

The Commission hearings should begin with a little honking car driving into the chamber, and the Comissioners piling out like Ringling Bros. clowns taking their seats of judgement. Accompaniment by organ scale runs and trombone smears would be nice. Maybe they can perform some slapstick skits before the center ring show for the cynical 9/11 widows, there representing all media whores and working for the families of ratings-imperiled MSNBC Hardball staff. Gotta pay tribute to the egomaniacal "Jersey Girls"! Always remember to put the "show" into a "show trial". Perhaps a pet "kangaroo" would enliven the festivities and serve as a mascot for the proceedings as well.

This thing has long since become a repugnant farce.

By the standards of this Commission, Julius Streicher should have been one of the judges at the Nuremberg Trials.

Bob Kerrey is on Imus right now. He is mad at Ashcroft saying it was a dirty trick to use the memo and blame the Clinton administration. This from Kerrey who has no business being on television while these proceedings are going on.

The Utterly Absolutely Disgraced 911 Commission [by their own choice]



"Do you really think you are gonna ask me why I dared refuse repeat DOJ requests for investigations of dangerous illegal aliens.
Do you really think you are gonna get to ask me why I arranged to stovepipe intelligence to make intraagency effective communication useless.
Do you really think you are gonna get to ask me why illegal aliens who were felons became voters for our Democratic party.
Do you really think you are gonna get to ask me why I OK'd the use of stolen FBI files on DNC computers.
Not a chance. Following LBJ, your gonads are in my fist and your FBI files are in my computer.
Now go away.
"



"Some wonder whether [Clinton] was distracted by the legal and
political quagmire of the Monica Lewinsky case.
And even former Clinton aides now regret that the
battle with bin Laden and his Al-Qaida organization was never fully joined.
'Clearly, not enough was done,' said Jamie Gorelick,
a former deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration.
'We should have caught this. Why this happened, I don't know.
Responsibilities were given out. Resources were given. Authorities existed.
We should have prevented this.
'

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. >>

Where is the "outrage" from the "Jersey girls"?
