My intuition tells me there is something more going on between Kean and Gorelick. I abhor rumors, but their body language in the "grooming session" spoke louder than words.

If she does testify I think Condi Rice should be added to the Commission so she can ask Ms. Gorelick some of the real questions relating Gorelick's involvement in 9/11.

Based on what I have seen, Gorelick's testimony won't mean squat. She's probably already written the questions for the Commissioner's to ask. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

I think the 9/11 Commission will have been a waste of time if they fail to investigate OKC bombing, TWA800 among others. If there was a coverup of international terrorism in these cases, that was a major contributor to the 9/11 attack. International terrorists knew from these experiences that America would stick her head in the sand no matter how large an attack she suffered. They could rest assured that the American people would be fed a line of bull fesces that the attack was an accident, or some fraternity prank gone awry.

"Nail Bush/ Save Clinton Legacy Commission"

"Acronym would be NB/SCL Commission"


This is a good description of what was set in motion before the fires were put out. Amazing how quickly when the "WHY" and "WHO" questions started, these liberals were planning how to blame President Bush in the attempt to win an election.

A serious problem is that neither of our two "Republican" senators from Tennessee, Frist and Alexander, signed this letter. About a week ago I telephoned Frist's office to request him to do all he could to get Gorelick to recuse herself. The staffer I spoke to said the Gorelick situation was disgraceful, but Frist couldn't do anything about it because the Senate didn't have jurisdiction over the Commission. That was so much of a cop-out, I knew Frist wasn't about to do anything.

I just wish we had one pubbie senator with the aggressive determination of Charlie Schumer(D, NY). That guy's a real pit bull who supports all the wrong causes. If he supported the right ones, he'd be great.

No! They're not - but people like Hatch make it difficult for people to support the GOP.

I have felt for some time that somebody (and we know who) has some tidbits on Hatch, and he's just doing a CYA.

And .. I believe the dims PUT GORELICK ON THE COMMISSION FOR 2 REASONS - TO PROTECT THE DIMS - AND TO KEEP HER FROM TESTIFYING.

If they don't allow her to testify .. the rumors will never stop. People will begin digging and digging into her past and discovering all sorts of stuff. I'm especially interested in her lovey-dovey smooching on TV with Kean. It might be better to let her testify .. then people would put it behind them .. after all .. Clarke lied through his teeth and got applauded.

You're expecting him to do something he's not responsible for .. that's not realistic.

There are House and Senate Committee's who have responsibility for the Commission. Judicial and Intelligence. Those are the people we need to hammer, not Frist.

Great links.

Too bad no one has the courage to put this in the spotlight where it might stand a chance of doing some actual good for us all.

My humble suggestion (made on another thread)--
any report issued by the 9-11 Commission should henceforth be referred to ONLY as
"The Gorelick-Clinton Report"
