The "911 Commission" hasn't passed the smell from the outset..........

As DatMon says,

responsible Republicans in congress should have pressed the issue that the commission could not credibly proceed with Gorelick as a commissioner.

I had not known, until reading it the last few days, that President Bush admonished Ashcroft for mentioning the Wall that Gorelick built.

I wish the president had not done that.

And yes, the Republicans should have stopped the proceedings then and there and demanded that Gorelick resign AND testify.

Cover-up is in place. Those liberal lawyers are going to try to spin this away. If not, the Liberal news stations will bring up other things to overshadow this story which is a tremendous bombshell. Sandy Berger wasn't stuffing things down his pants for fun!

Berger is definitely party of this and yes, the cover-up is working overtime right now.

The Clinton Lawyers are working to hide the truth from coming out. Berger probably destroyed some of the documentation.

Heres a little piece of Tom Clancy type conjecture to chew on...

It could be that the WH got snookered when they made this 'hypothetical' 'gentleman's agreement' with the Clintons and the DNC before the commission got off the ground.

The WH didn't know the scope of Able Danger, or didn't realize that Atta had been fingered as a result of it. Perhaps the Clintons had forgotten as well. The WH certainly was aware of Gorelicks role in establishing the wall...evidenced by Ashcrofts testimony later on. Nevertheless, they made a cold calculated deal with the Dems...a deal which Ashcroft certainly opposed.

After Ashcrofts testimony, and with the blog focus shifted to the 'wall'...there was an Oh $hit moment...Sandy (and/ or Clarke) recalled the handwritten notes...and in panic the Clintons put Sandy and his trusty socks to the task.

They weren't particularly concerned about Sandy getting caught and landing in jail. The Clintons figured that the WH, out of embarrassment perhaps that they had gotten conned, (and with politicians on both sides of the aisle NOT wanting the extent of the Able Danger fiasco to be made public)...would not push the issue with Sandy and would cop a plea with him once they discovered exactly what he did take.

So thats were we are now...

Is it logical...I think so...did it happen that way...who knows??

Much as I like and respect the president, I would have a hard time believing he'd get snookered by Clinton. And if he did, shame on him.

But I think your scenario makes sense.

I still think that the president admonishing Ashcroft for mentioning The Wall and Gorelick's role in it to the Commission was the wrong thing to do.

If the Commission staff had conducted a legit investigation, they'd just publish a transcript of their 2003 Afganistan interview with Able Danger officers to prove there was no mention of Atta. Maybe Commission staff made their notes Gorelick friendly because Pentagon lawyers referenced Commission member and former general counsel of DoD Gorelick in their denial to the Able Danger request to inform the FBI. For such an important investigation, why weren't interviews recorded?

Without recorded interviews, analyzing discrepancies and doing followup interviews would be impossible. How would a legitimate investigation analyze a discrepancy between what Able Danger officers and Pentagon lawyers said about turning Atta info over to the FBI without a transcript of those interviews?

From the beginning, Commission staff dismissed any information that didn't fit the final report and made sure there was no recorded evidence they were told anything that didn't fit the final report.

The only way this controversy gets resolved is if the Able Danger analysts come out and show the evidence they had concerning Atta and his cell and the minutes of meetings with the Pentagon/Clinton lawyers and the 9/11 Commission staff.

I'd say it's time.

But you never know these days if they have to fear for their life or whatever.

ABLE DANGER: WHAT WE KNOW, WHAT WE DON'T KNOW

One thing that we don't know, but it would be very helpful to know, is: What data did Able Danger use to finger Atta? And why does their time line not "mesh" with the Commission's?

Obviously, Able Danger claims that Atta entered the U.S. before June, 2001. Why? What information did they "mine" that led them to this conclusion?

I'd say it's time.

My opinion: it will only be the right time when no undercover agent, method or existing operation is endangered. No chance to undue what's been done, but maybe a big chance of keeping it from happening again.

"Gorelick is my quess."

That would be my guess, as well. I've been Googling it and can't seem to find out for sure, though.

Gorelick did her job keeping the cover-up covered.

The Clintons, the Communist Chinese, the North Koreans, Iran, the Library slush fund... are all fat and happy.

Except for Vince Foster, Ron Brown, the girls, the ...

* No one has concretely tied this new information to the strange, felonious behavior of Sandy Berger, smuggling documents out of the National Archives. And because anyone who worked for the degenerate clinton is first and foremost a consumate liar and swears allegiance solely to the criminal enterpise and the nation be damned, we will never know for sure what the lying, treasonous thief Berger took from the archives! Democrats are too dangerous to be allowed ever to run this nation again.
