thanks for the Gorelick audio! ping :)
Sometimes I feel like I'm parked diagonally in a parallel universe.
bttt
You're welcome!
It was truly surreal listening to that interview when it was first broadcast. I was sitting in the parking lot of the Sikorsky helicopter assembly plant, having just turned on my radio to kill a few minutes before going inside for my appointment.
At first I didn't know it was Gorelick speaking, I just knew it was a member of the 9/11 commission, though I thought it was a mere staff member at first given the detached mode of speech.
At some point I was talking back to my radio, blaming Gorelick for the deficiencies the speaker was pointing out.
Imagine my shock at my sudden realization of Gorelick's complete & total detachment from reality, when the interviewer gave Gorelick's name at the end of the interview.
It being NPR, of course no mention was made of Gorelick's own involvement in the creation of the very (governmental) detachment she was now complaining about.
Gorelick: Detached both in mind & intelligence gathering.
