Fox News pundit Bill O'Reilly and others have asserted that the Able Danger intelligence was suppressed as a result of "the wall." During the 9/11 Commission hearings, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft alleged the wall was strengthened under the Clinton administration by Jamie Gorelick to prohibit sharing of terrorist intelligence within the federal government. [25]
This assertion was disputed by former senator Slade Gorton (R-WA), a member of the 9-11 Commission, who said, "nothing Jamie Gorelick wrote had the slightest impact on the Department of Defense or its willingness or ability to share intelligence information with other intelligence agencies." Gorton also asserted that "the wall" was a long-standing policy that had resulted from the Church committee in the 1970s, and that the policy only prohibits transfer of certain information from prosecutors to the intelligence services and never prohibited information flowing in the opposite direction.
The controversy is beginning to damage the credibility of the 9/11 Commission in areas outside of Able Danger as well. Columnist Mike Kelly has written that the 9/11 Commission's work is "under a cloud." [26]
Gorelick enhanced the wall to make it ever more difficult to share intelligence information that would enhance national security.
