Jamie Gorelick: My 'Wall' Still in Place
Former 9/11 Commission member Jamie Gorelick is giving the Bush administration a bad report card for failing to implement post 9/11 counterterrorism reforms.
"I think we are less safe than we were 18 months ago," she told ABC's "Good Morning America." "We have a tremendous agenda. And we have just not been about doing what we need to make us safe."
But Gorelick's main complaint seemed to be that a rule she implemented as Deputy Attorney General under Bill Clinton - which barred intelligence sharing between the FBI and CIA - was still being followed.
"The FBI, while it started to reform, is not where it needs to be [on] information-sharing," she said. "We've taken down the legal walls. But the culture is still prohibiting the kind of information-sharing that we need to have."
Gorelick made no mention of the fact that it was she herself who constructed the wall of separation - in a 1995 Justice Department directive that emphasized protecting the civil rights of terrorist suspects.

What a farce. This person is a disgrace, in my opinion.
Unmitigated gall on the part of a Klintonian leftist idiot.
She, and the rest of the 9/11 commission are a sham and an ugly attempt to cover up the real truth about what Washington knew AND DID NOT DO.
"...Gorelick made no mention of the fact that it was she herself who constructed the wall of separation - in a 1995 Justice Department directive that emphasized protecting the civil rights of terrorist suspects..."
Boy. No kidding. The gall, The chutzpah of the arrogant, dissembling, incompetent, partisan hack.
Gorelick has no conscience. She is scum.
Actually, she has been very competent at what she attempts.
I wonder which ABC Airhead interviewed Gorelick? Even a half-witted NBC newsbabe might have challenged Gorelick for denouncing The Wall which she herself created.
"Follow up" is a dirty word at ABC.
Former? This Bush bashing commission, thoroughly discredited in most people's minds (at least those that pay attention), has simply morphed into its latest manifestation ...
I thought she meant her.....Sugar Walls.....
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
And biased ABC failed to bring it up either.
Her "wall" has only killed a few thousand Americans... what's the big deal? /sarc
ROTFLMAO....
# Why has that military officer who presented "Able Danger" been silenced, and this Clinton hack is still allowed to propagandize?
# What ever happened to that Congressman or Senator from back East who was trying to get more of the "Able Danger" info released and on the record?
# When is this Clinton hack going to account for her malfeasance? Delay is a choir boy compared to what she appears to have done to America.
Another dummycrat that has put, and is still putting, the best interests of America last.
someone needs to remind Gorelick that if the Clintoons had been doing their job there wouldn't have been a 9/11!
And Bubba sure had plenty of warnings originating in the first WTC bombing of 1993!
Ben Veniste demanding an investigation into data mining because it's too invasive.
