"I have wondered whether Gorelick was a deliberate choice of the Bush administration, so that at an opportune moment the credibility and non-partisanship of the commission may be called into question."

A diabolical theory...but not true. The ten commissioners were selected as follows:

1. GOP congressional leaders selected four of the commissioners.

2. Democrat congressional leaders selected four of the commissioners.

3. The President, in consultation with the Senate majority leader, named the Chairman (Kean).

4. The Senate minority leader (Daschle) named the co-chairman (Kerrey).

Thus, Gorelick is a creature of the Democrat congressional leadership.

4. The Senate minority leader (Daschle) named the co-chairman (Kerrey).

Lee Hamilton is the co-chair, not Bob Kerrey.

Oh well, it was fun to dream. Still, let's hope that this scandal can be milked for all its worth.
