Her real friends should buy her dinner, and perhaps a weekend at a nice resort where she can bind up her wounds before returning to appear before her ex-colleagues under oath and on television.

Why? - - So she can be questioned by those same commission chums? Can you imagine the platitudes and softballs that those pathetic grandstanders would throw her way? Nah - - why bother?

At this point, the credibility of the "9-11 Commission" is hopelessly shot down the toilet forever. The commission is dead and all that's left is for somebody to put one last bullet in its corpse. But more likely, it will just fade away.

Hopefully, they'll wrap it up soon, but whatever report they finally release won't be worth the paper its written on.

Why bother?

Because she should never have been even considered for this commission. She knew full well she should not be on the commission and is therefore on it for ulterior motives. Any respectable, honorable candidate would have excused herself before even being put on the committee. She did not - WHY? WHY?

The committee is a fraud as the protection of her place on the committee even when she should be a witness shows. If they were sincere - they would have immediately corrected the error and called on her as a witness.

They are giving her a pass when they have not done so on any other official. That is why!!!

Gorelick Plan To Block Action on 9/11 Panel Findings
(2004-04-14) -- Despite calls for her resignation from the 9/11 commission, former Clinton administration deputy attorney general Jamie Gorelick today announced an "innovative plan" to prevent the commission's eventual recommendations from being put into practice.
The proposal, reminiscent of Ms. Gorelick's now-famous 1995 finding which protected potential terrorists from uncomfortable legal proceedings, would place "a wall between the commission's findings and actual implementation."
"We must maintain the constitutional separation between testimony and action," said Ms. Gorelick. "If the 9/11 commission findings resulted in organizational or procedural changes in government, it would have a chilling effect on such panels. How could you get qualified people like me to serve on commissions if they feared that their speculative theories and ideas would be proven impractical through implementation?"

The washed-up has-beens on this pathetic commission would have to be surgically removed from the TV cameras first. At last they are "relevant" again! This is exactly the kind of colosal waste of taxpayer money that made me cringe when I wrote out my check on April 15. If I could make sure my money only went for bombs and bullets for the troups, I would feel much better.
