So they not only control the information flow to the full Commission, they got to read the entire PDB's.
So, the vicious and dishonest dustup with Condi over the August 2001 PDB was launched by either Zelikow or Gorelick, who, at the outset, took parts of the PDB out of context to facilitate a smear of Condi Rice. Gorelick and Zelikow were the only ones who saw the whole thing, so they were the only ones who could have done the selective editing.
Must have been Gorelicker, unless Zelikow harbored a secret grudge against Condi - 'cause Zelikow was far from a partisan 'Rat like Gorelicker. The criticism of Zelikow being appointed Exec. Director was that he had co-authored a book with Condi and had advised the Bush transition team. I think he's come off as a very bi-partisan character, but certainly he was not an obvious Democratic mole, and nothing I've seen about him suggests that he would be co-ordinating that assault on Rice and Bush.
Gorelicker, on the other hand, was/is a whore for the Clintons, so she easily could do it..... and if she and Zelikow were the only ones to have complete access to the PDBs, then it seems apparent that she and Ben Veniste worked together to prepare that loathsome ambush of Condi Rice. All the more reason that Gorelicker needs to be tarrred and feathered, publicly revealed as a prime architect of both failed intelligence policies/procedures in the '90s "the WALL" and then also of the cover-up called the 9/11 Commission.
Exactly so.
