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.

Bush gets a bad report card because Gorelick is even allowed to be on a 911 Commission. Saddam gives Bush a bad report card too. Bin Laden has been deeply critical of the administration. Freerepublic should devote a few weeks to shutting loud mouth Gorelick down before she can destroy any more evidence.

Thanks Triple.

It absolutely frosts me that the Republicans have been totally ineffective in pointing out the massive conflicts of interest that occurred by putting Jamie Gorelick and Richard ben-Vineste (sp)on the 9/11 commission.

Lately I have been getting my shorts all twisted over allowing the 9/11 Co-Chairmen (bipartisan my butt) do a whitewash on Able Danger. The A/D story has the potential to totally shift the momentum the Democrats have attained distorting history, demonizing Bush and the WOT.

Gorelick made no mention of the fact...


Gorelick and facts are not exactly friends, or on speaking terms for that matter. I'm still waiting for her to comment on the Secret Service memo relating to the last OK City Bombing trial that gives details of a video of additional participants in the bombing. You'd think such a thing would at least make the back pages of a few papers at least.

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.

..it's called revisionism, much like the 9/11 commission, it "smooths things out" to make Congress look good while being ABLE to put out the "official conclusion"

....oh yeah, and Sandy Berger can destroy documents during an investigation (the commission) and "walk"...shows how the American people deal with things when not a daily headline. Berger stories were always on page 36

Sigh.

Joe Wilson in tampons.

OMG, that's funny!

[who knows what evil?]

...another domestic enemy heard from. Yawn.

What is frustrating is that the Chairman of the 9/11 committee, a Republican, Senator Kean, commented on how "attractive" he thought Jamie Goerlick was.

No wonder they call us Republicans "The Stupid Party!" We have a habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory over and over again. Goerlick should never have been on the 9/11 committee - and should have recused herself, but the Republican chairman let her get away with it instead of exposing her for what she did.
