9-11 COMMISSIONER JAMIE GORELICK SHOULD RESIGN IMMEDIATELY AND TAKE HER SEAT IN THE WITNESS CHAIR INSTEAD

CHAIRMAN KEAN NEEDS TO REIN IN ARROGANT COMMISSION, STARTING WITH HIMSELF

(Washington) The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, an independent grassroots organization today issued a statement supporting the calls of House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner and the Landmark Legal Foundation for the resignation or removal of Jamie Gorelick from the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States, also known as the 9-11 Commission.

This week it has become apparent to all except Democrats and those with the insiders club mentality of Washington that Ms. Gorelick is hopelessly conflicted as a commissioner. Her position as Deputy Attorney General from 1994 to 1997 in the Clinton administration should compel her to be testifying in front of the commission instead of being a member of it.

Chairman Kean, who has allowed the public hearings of the commission to descend into a circus, needs to remember who he works for. His comments yesterday demanding that the American people and their elected representatives “stay out of our business” is reprehensible and arrogant beyond belief.

The attacks of September 11 happened to all Americans. Chairman Kean and the other commissioners are accountable to all of us, not just the vocal partisan 9-11 families who cheer and clap as if the hearings were a sporting event.

“The contemptuous ‘we know best’ attitude of Chairman Kean and Commissioner Gorelick is exactly the attitude that made our nation so vulnerable. Ms. Gorelick needs to go, and Mr. Kean needs to remember he is nothing more than a servant of the American people,” stated Kristinn Taylor, Co-leader of the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic.

Levin: Declassify the Other Gorelick Memo

The next shoe to drop in the Gorelick-gate scandal may be a still-classified report on the Millennium bomb plot that faults Gorelick's "wall" of separation between prosecutors and intelligence gatherers for nearly blowing the Millennium Plot probe.

Writing in National Review Online, Landmark Legal Foundation President Mark Levin notes that the 9/11 Commission is sitting on a damaging post-Millennium-Plot report that chronicles the impact of Gorelick's terrorist-friendly directive, which Attorney General John Ashcroft alluded to during his Wednesday testimony.

Ashcroft said the report, dubbed the Millennium After Action Review by the Clinton National Security Council, chronicles how al-Qaida's role in the Millennium Plot was nearly missed because Gorelick's guidelines blinded U.S. prosecutors to critical intelligence in the case.

Though a hunch by an alert Washington-state Customs agent led to the capture of would-be Millennium bomber Ahmed Ressam, when he was turned over to the Justice Department for interrogation, they "didn't have a clue who he was," Ashcroft told the Commission.

It took a French magistrate with full access to his own country's counterterrorism intelligence files to tip U.S. probers to the fact that they had nabbed one of al-Qaida's most dangerous operatives.

Ultimately, because of Gorelick's directive, the French magistrate had to travel to the U.S. and testify for seven hours to lay out Ressam's al-Qaida connection.

Said Levin:

The NSC's Millennium After Action Review — which, based on Attorney General Ashcroft's testimony, must be devastating in its analysis of not only this event but of the Gorelick policy — remains classified. ...

"Given all the past intelligence information that has been made public by the 9/11 Commission — including the August 6, 2001, President's Daily Brief, which had never before been released — there appears to be no legitimate basis for the 9/11 Commission keeping the Review under lock and key. It's time to release it."

The 9-11 Commission should be disbanded. All the Democrats are capable of doing is to sew hatred and insult others.
Look at this post of Timothy Roemer and the way he mentions Dr. Condoleeza Rice when speaking with Louis Freeh..
ROEMER: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Welcome, Director Freeh. Nice to see you. And I want to just express my appreciation to you and your family for the sacrifices you made while you served as FBI director, and also for your attention here today.

You probably paid attention to the last several weeks of testimony before the 9/11 commission. We had somebody here by the name of Mr. Clarke and somebody here about a week later called Dr. Rice. They didn't agree on much. They didn't see eye to eye on much. They didn't share many of the same opinions.
Look at the courtesy this SOB shows all members and their title throughout this and look at how he mentions Dr. Rice!
Downright gender and race bias.

Thanks warlord, I used the DC Chapter press-release as a baseline text in e-mailing my two Senators (Allen & Warner) and my House Rep. (Jo Ann Davis - 1st District). Keep fighting the good fight - fair winds and following seas.

The chairman has an gleaned some interesting friends and relationships over the years especially in 'th ‘all’ bennis and more than the ordinary knowledge of OBL et al...and some rightly claim he has enormous conflicts of interest, enough to ask for his resignation also..........

Fire the lot of them! Call your elected - demand that this "cover-up" commission be dismissed immediately - they have no credibility what so ever! Talk about the proverbial Fox guarding the Hen House..............

"Mr. Clarke, Mr. Clarke, please this is urgent. We can take out Osama, now. Please answer!!! We have him in our sight."

Clarke: "Nope. Forgetaboutit. No big deal. They told Gorelick and I that they promise that they will only attack our computers."

Was this right around the time that Clinton’s Aid Patterson was trying to get the president to quit watching a golf game and do something about giving the command to commence to some fighter pilots who had been sitting in their jets for hours awaiting orders to strike the target? They never got the order and the window of opportunity closed.........Dereliction of Duty recalls this in Patterson’s book.........

I knew well before this commission got started, as far back as 2002, they should have focused more on the 8 years of Clinton rather than the 8 months of Bush. So far it's been nothing short of a utter complete facade.
