Heya...thnx fer the feedback. 8)
I do have a question though.

You mention Gorelick made the wall higher. In that article Gorelick says (not unexpectedly) she made it lower.
Do you (or anyone reading this)have any articles I can read that go into that contradiction in detail?

It seems to be the definitive item in this issue.

Thnx in Advance

Gorelick Caught In Lie - Gorelick Says She Did Not Author or Sign the "WALL" Memo

Gorelick Caught In Lie - Gorelick Claims She Did Not Author or Sign the Memo That Bears Her Name and Initials.
When asked specifically by CNN's Wolf Blitzer if she wrote the "memorandum in '95 that helped establish the so-called walls between the FBI and CIA," Gorelick distanced herself from the matter:
"No, and again, I would refer you back to what others on the commission have said. The wall was a creature of statute. It's existed since the mid 1980s. And while it's too lengthy to go into, basically the policy that was put out in the mid-nineties, which I didn't sign, wasn't my policy by the way, it was the attorney general's policy, was ratified by Attorney General Ashcroft's deputy as well in August of 2001. So we are just going to move on from this. This is not a basis for resignation."

Yes it is the definitive item in this issue. 

It is odd that you make use of a moniker searchmaster when you seem to prefer to bother folks with questions which could be answered with the simplest of searches.

From this thread:

Mr. Ashcroft pointed out that the wall was raised even higher in the mid-1990s, in the midst of what was then one of the most important antiterror investigations in American history--into the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. On Tuesday the Attorney General declassified and read from a March 4, 1995, memo in which Jamie Gorelick--then Deputy Attorney General and now 9/11 Commissioner--instructed then-FBI Director Louis Freeh and United States Attorney Mary Jo White that for the sake of "appearances" they would be required to adhere to an interpretation of the wall far stricter than the law required.

The Gorelick Rosetta Stone aaa
Gorelick's Wall was not just a monument to political correctness and lawyer-think run amok, it was a strategic keystone of the Clinton Administration's wholesale auction of America's security, sovereignty and economy.
