9/11 COMMISSION
Jaime Gorelick has some explaining to do

No matter how long conservatives protest, Jaime Gorelick is unlikely to resign from her position on the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Against the United States. Despite her distinctly partisan approach, her place on the 10-member, supposedly nonpartisan 9/11 commission is defended by such Republican heavyweights as Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah and former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, the commission's chairman.
The problem is that Gorelick, deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration, wrote a key Justice Department memo in 1995 raising the "wall" between the FBI and CIA, basically forbidding them from communicating with each other on matters involving terrorist suspects in the United States.
The 9/11 commission's charge is to find out what went wrong with U.S. intelligence prior to the horrific terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Most people readily agree that central to the intelligence failure was the lack of communication between the CIA and FBI. Gorelick's memo contributed to communication break. As the Wall Street Journal pointed out in a recent editorial, Gorelick would certainly be witness before the 9/11 commission were she not a member.
The American public expects a full, objective report from the commission on our nation's intelligence mistakes and what must be done to prevent a 9/11 from occurring again. The commission is obligated to leave no stone unturned and appropriately allot responsibility.
The White House initially threw up barricades between it and the commission, delaying the release of relevant documents and resisting adequate and public testimony from people such as President Bush, Vice President Cheney and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. But the White House eventually came around to answering the commission's requests.
In the same spirit of achieving an investigation that is honest and complete, Jaime Gorelick has some explaining to do, including why she has taken such a partisan approach to her post and why she accepted membership on the commission in the first place.
Its stunning how ordinary, common RATS have no problem with partisanship...
At one point we were hopeful for that. America now understands that we've all purchased a ticket at the circus instead. And it's a circus of clowns and only a few class acts.

She accepted the position so she wouldn't have to testify.
No they don't. The reason the constant attacks by the media and the 911 commission on Bush have actually increased Bush's poll numbers is the public sees the 911 commission as putting Demoratic party interests ahead of our Nations Interests.
The Democrats insisted that Ben Veniste be on the conmission because he was very effective at taking down Nixon. So Ben Veniste used the same tackics on Rice as he did on Nixon administration people.
Veniste is a fool. Nixon was never liked. The voters prefered Nixon to HHH and McGovern, but they did not like Dick Nixon. The public may not always support George W. Bush but they like him.
When congress, the media, and poltical opponents attack someone the voters don't very much like, the voters cheer. Attacking Nixon was smart Democratic politics because most voters did not like Nixon.
But when someone attacks a President the votes like, the voters get mad at the attackers and support the president who is attacked. It is just human nature and very counter productive to attack any politician that the voters like.
The third of the voters on the right hate Bill Clinton. But the other two thirds like Bill Clinton. The more the right attacked Bill Clinton the higher his job approval ratings went. At that height of the attack on Clinton and his Monica situation, Bill Clinton's job approval ratings were at 58 percent.
The more we attacked the higher Bill Clintons approval numbers went ..... from barely above 50 to over 58 percent.
So the 911 commision will have no bad political effect on Bush, except to make if far more difficult for Kerry to win.
The third of the voters on the left hate Dubya Bush. But the other two thirds like him. The more the left uses the 911 commission and the media to attack Dubya the more th two thirds that like him will defend him.
Ben Venista and the Democrats are fools. They only remember their success against Nixon, they do not underestand why we failed to get Clinton. They don't nkow it but theyare helping George W. Bush.
IMHO the reason the Dems always get the upper hand is they are like the Borg. Its all for one and one for all. The Reps have people like Kean and Hatch that at least in this case sound like Democrats. No support for the Republican position. I guess resistance is futile.
Good one!!
