Newly released Justice Department memos show that September 11 panel commissioner Jamie S. Gorelick was more intimately involved than previously thought with hampering communications between U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement agencies fighting terrorism.

As the No. 2 person in the Clinton Justice Department, Ms. Gorelick rejected advice from the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, who warned against placing more limits on communications between law-enforcement officials and prosecutors pursuing counterterrorism cases, according to several internal documents written in summer 1995.

I guess we now know the other reason why Dashole/Hellary made it a point to put Gorelick on the 9/11 panel

To keep her from being called to testify

Also, he said, the newly released memos raised apparent conflicts with statements Ms. Gorelick has made recently defending herself and her role in the Clinton Justice Department.

What a kind way to suggest that she lied! Wouldn't it be nice if the Democrats handled apparent Republican "misstatements" so nicely?

The panel refused, saying that commissioners have only called former and current attorneys general and FBI directors to talk about the intelligence-law enforcement division, not their deputies.

They specifically listed four Justice Department deputies they did not call to testify, including Larry D. Thompson, a onetime deputy to Mr. Ashcroft.

But in a letter back to the commission yesterday Mr. Bond and his colleagues said Mr. Thompson, who is now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, did in fact publicly testify about his time as deputy, and commission records include a transcript and video archive of his testimony.

How do they think they are going to get away with such stuff?!!!

Oh, I know. Old Media usually covers for them.

ANY report these useless buffoons on the 9-11 Commission eventually release won't be worth the paper it's written on. The commission's credibility is ZERO. I wish they would just wrap it up and go home. At this point, all I can see is my taxes swirling down the toilet.

"I would like to have her testimony under the penalty of perjury," said the commission's chairman, Thomas H. Kean

"But there's another whole dimension here, and that dimension is the public dimension -- and I think the American public would benefit from hearing (her) testify under oath." - Lee Hamilton

"Voluntarily coming forward to testify under oath during a public hearing without the use of a subpoena would simply set a rare, refreshing, and appropriate moral precedent for all of history to judge." - Statement from the 9/11 Families Steering Committee

"(She) ought to find 60 minutes to speak to the commission under oath.... The secretary of state, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, the undersecretary of state.... go up there and raise their right hand and talk under oath to make America safer. We're talking about the security of our country." - John F. Kerry

"Why won't she testify under oath before the 9/11 Commission? Doesn't she owe that to us as an officer of the United States government? She's a liar. She lied twice in "The Washington Post" op-ed. I'm sorry. She's a proven liar. She should testify under oath." - Paul Begala

"(She) should testify to set a moral precedent that is aptly warranted by the murder of 3,000 people." - Statement from the 9/11 Families Steering Committee

"The American public wants answers.... She ought to testify. She ought to testify under oath. This is about getting to the bottom of some very serious questions about what went on around Sept. 11 and why we didn't do a better job of preparing ourselves." - Terry McAuliffe

"The American public deserves to see in public under oath what she knew ahead of time." - Carrie Lemack (vice president of the Families of September 11 group)

OH WAIT!!!!
Sorry! My mistake. The above quotes were made in mid-March. They concerned Condi Rice, not Jamie Gorelick.
So sorry.

Thanks.
Actually, I originally put those quotes in a vanity thread a couple of weeks ago, but every now and then it seems apropos to repost them. The endless haranguing for Rice to testify last month and the public silence today when it comes to Gorelick testifying (especially from the scumbag "9-11 Widows" of Today Show fame) demonstrates such a double standard and such shameless hypocrisy that it is simply unbelievable.

All you can do is read the quotes from these people and shake your head. Not one of these worthless pissants who was quoted has any shame at all.

Regards,
LH

I wonder where the "Jersey Girls" are demanding to have Gorelick testify in public because the American people have a RIGHT TO KNOW who was responsible for 9/11?!
