This story will not go away. The issue is, will President Bush set Atty Gen. Ashcroft on Jaime Gorelick, to investigate her for treason?

I can guarantee Ashcroft won't be sent to attack Gorelick...;)...

But this story is only going to get bigger now. Muwahahahahahaaaa!

Come, GOP, don't let this go away--demand investigation!

Podhoretz on National Review is saying the ball is in Weldon's court. Is he just selling a book?

He has made very serious charges that seems to fit that it could all be true but Podhoretz points out that so far Weldon has indicated he spoke to anonymous sources no one has met and has cited documents that no one has seen.

Trust, but verify. This applies to Weldon as well.

Gonzales is Atty Gen now.

Ashcroft spoke about Gorelick's "wall" memo at the 9/11 commish hearing.

"you start to wonder what exactly is the point of an official investigation "

Come on, Mark, you disappoint!

The sole purpose of the 9/11 Cpmmission was to conceal any hint that might point to Willie's criminal involvement. All you needed to do was check the Congressional Reocrd and the words of EVERY member of the Congressional Black Caucus. If you had wondered how these racist hacks KNEW that there was no connection between Iraq and terrorism, you'd begin to wonder what they were hiding!

Our soft-underbelly is as Steyn says: "Still Political". We are really NO different than Israel today in its Gaza. Only difference is we have opened up our country to foreign squatters for about 10 years on a wholesale basis. What's left is the explusion of us old time citizens. That's near enough, though, with the housing bubble and the huge number of overrated and interest-only mortgages.

No. Republicans are always more intent on covering up Democratic administration sins than are the Democrats.

Atta wasn't in New York in that period ~ he was resident down the street in a townhouse well known (now) to the FBI, etc.

We had an entire AlQaida ground support team working out of this area ~ and there were several townhouses involved.

Atta's presence here overlaps that of Gilbert Colon and Soraya Wiriadinata in this neighborhood ~ they were living within 100 feet of each other!

I've been wondering if Gilbert knew this Jose Padilla? No doubt Wiriandinata had his own contacts through the Riady empire into all the AlQaida cells and affiliates in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Weldon has stated on several occasions that he has 11 (or 12?) people who are ready and willing to testify under oath. He's also stated that there are 15 boxes of relevent documentation that the commission never looked at.

for this story to gain any momentum, someone is going to have to start leaking that information.

Fur Shur Welden has the good stuff ~ my problem with the time-line for Atta's presence in the US was I'd seen him in this neighborhood BEFORE then. These guys actually had me doubting my own memory.

We also had most of the other hijackers come through here (to stay somewhere) during this earlier period.

Wiriandinata and Gilbert Colon ALSO overlap the presence of Amir Kanzi who shot up the CIA front drive-way entrance back in 1993!

This definitely involves the Clintons in some manner, and may 'splain why Billzo thought he could simply take Osama Bin Laden into custody ~ the man may well have been getting dealt out of the game by his Indonesian gumbahs!

Hamas also has some involvement ~ their headquarters was in a business district near the neighborhood, and their local agents lived here (in the same townhouse development).

Nope. He will not set Ashcroft after Gorelick, nor will he set Attorney General Gonzalez after her either.

I have noticed that Bush really does not go after anyone that had anything to do with the Clinton administration.

The 9-11 commission merely covered up Klintoon incompetence and set about bashing Bush.

It was a sham from day 1.

If Jamie Gorelick was named Karl Rove or Sandy Berger was named Donald Rumsfield, these stories would be on the front page of every mainstream newspaper, every day, in 72-point type, above the fold. You'd think that someone, somewhere, at the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Boston Globe, et al, would forget his political agenda for just a moment and maybe get to the truth. And, possibly, protect this country from another terroristic attack.

and if Hillary wins the presidency in 2008, that mistake will be magnified 1000 fold.
