The importance of that testimony snippet is to show that she, Gorelick--she of the stack-the-bricks-higher memo--was publicly talking about Bojinka five years before 9/11.

If it was important enough to give the government snooping rights into encrypted communications, why wasn't it important enough to act on for America's safety?

Why was firewalling domestic law enforcement from foreign intelligence more important in the era of Ron Brown, James Riady, Johnny Chung and all the rest?

Gorelick should not be on that commission. She should be in the witness chair, and very probably in jail for obstruction of justice regarding Chinagate.

You are too good! Great research!

Contacting FOX news, Rush, Hannity, Drudge et al, I hope?

Gorelick must step down from the Commission of Commissars, be sworn in and testify. She must also be treated as Dr. Rice was treated and extensively questioned!

- Ramzi Yousef, recently convicted of conspiring to blow up 10 U.S.-owned airliners in the Far East, and his co-conspirators apparently stored information about their terrorist plot in an encrypted computer file in Manila. (Yousef is also one of the alleged masterminds of the World Trade Center bombing.)


Bojinka...was the plot to simultaneously blow up about 12 jets all at the same time...busted up in the Phillipines if I remember correctly.

I was appalled at the intimacy and inappropriate behavior displayed between Gorelick and the Chairman. She was in his space and he was in her space! Very familiar with each other! She was hugging him and brushing his jacket!

Jamie Gorelick's "wall memo" strangely signed off the very week of major terrorist attack warnings:

http://www.mediamonitors.net/mosaddeq36.html

“Western secret services knew as far back as 1995 that suspected terror mastermind Osama bin Laden planned to attack civilian sites using commercial passenger planes.” Quoting sources “close to western intelligence agencies,” the newspaper reported that: “The plan was discovered in January 1995 by Philippine police who were investigating a possible attack against Pope John Paul II on a visit to Manila…

“Federal investigative sources have confirmed that Murad”—who was “a close confidant and right-hand man to Yousef, who was convicted of crimes relating to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center”—“detailed an entire plot to dive bomb aircraft in the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, VA.” along with other U.S. buildings. “Yousef independently boasted of the plot to U.S. Secret Service agent Brian Parr and FBI agent Charles Stern on an extradition flight from Pakistan to the United States in February 1995,” continues the PEC report. “The agents later testified to that fact in court… [T]he plan targeted not only the CIA but other U.S. government buildings in Washington, including the Pentagon.”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1117947/posts?page=25#25

On [Monday] Feb. 27, 1995, the task force had issued its first confidential warning to federal agencies that Islamic terrorists "may soon strike Washington D.C., specifically the Capitol and the White House." This confidential alert, which he said was quietly distributed to federal intelligence agencies and law enforcement, claimed the attacks were to begin after March 21, 1995.

"Striking inside the U.S. is presently a high priority for Iran," stated the warning. The alert also stated that upcoming terrorist strikes might be directed against "airports, airlines and telephone systems." In light of Sept. 11, it was a telling note.

On [Friday] March 3, 1995, the task force issued an update. This "super-sensitive" alert stated there was a "greater likelihood the terrorists would strike at the heart of the U.S." Bodansky also told Davis that after the truck bombing, he reviewed intelligence data that confirmed, "Oklahoma City was on the list of potential targets."

It turns out Gorelick's undated "wall memo" was negligently signed off the very next day -- Mar 4, 1995 -- according to Janet Reno's letter.

This shows there was likely a reason other than terrorism prompting her to raise the wall. She would have put an immediate hold on the memo for national security reasons if there were nothing else pushing her to implement the memo. She also would have listened to mary Jo White if terrorism were her concern. Some other issue related to the use of foreign intel against domestic individuals appears to have set her hair on fire.
