Good afternoon.
"He's been back in investment banking for 15 years."

Back from where? What was he, Secretary of the Navy. Was he put on the 9/11 Commision because he was into investment banking.

Jamie Gorelick had been out of the political class for a while herself, Benveniste too.

Actually, I can't think of any of the players in the 9/11 cover up who do not have links to the government that are maintained in private life.

Sec. of the Navy in the 1980s????? I hardly call that "political class." If you are going to extrapolate that far out, then virtually everyone in the U.S. is part of the "political class." I don't think that's an explanation. Rather, I think the explanation others offered, which was that Lehman and a couple others staunchly maintained they had not been briefed, and were furious when they learned of this.
