Graphics of the Gorelick memo

suspect that the republicans did not do their homework on this one. That makes me almost as made as having this lunatic "Gorelick" on this so-called commission.

It's more amusing if you consider the possibility that they did do their homework. Remember that Bush initially opposed the formation of this commission, and Condi Rice was very explicit about the difficulties of collecting and disseminating good intel, due to the Clintonian restrictions outlined here.

It's already quite obvious that the Democrats on the commission are compromised -- this just makes it more obvious. It's an interesting and effective way for Bush to cast blame where it belongs.

Part of me wants to laugh my a** off at Gorelick getting nailed as a partisan hack.

Then I realize that 3000 people died, mostly because of the efforts of Gorelick, Torricelli, Kerry, Frank Church, Otis Pike, and the whole crooked lot of Democrats who went out of their way to neuter our intelligence and law enforcement communities.

This was done for one purpose only - TO PROTECT THE CLINTONS FROM BEING CONNECTED TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

I may not be able to prove that - I have just always felt that these people would have done anything to keep the Clintons safe from prosecution.

[CyberAnt]

So what else is new.

I have also noted that all the dems have done on the stand is point fingers at the Bush admin - while all the Bush people have been at times complimentary to other members of other admins.

If anybody is paying attention - it was quite obvious.

Pin the tail on the Donkey!

[herzo]

Could it have been much better than having Gorelick shown to be the biased examiner that she is through her prior actions???

[dead]

Gorelick, Torricelli, Kerry, Frank Church, Otis Pike, and the whole crooked lot of Democrats

Those are the people who should be getting fried by this commission (particularly Torricelli), but instead they have Gorelick lecturing Condoleeza Rice about her shortcomings.

PDFs are notorously bigger. They save font information, etc. My caps are in JPG graphics format.

I didn't know that. Thanks.

I've read this memo with the seriousness this very non-bureaucratic mind could muster.

Best as I can understand it Gorelick is establishing a separate group (or one had already been in existance I'm not clear on this) that would review whether information between the terrorist investigators could be shared with the criminal investigators.

So at that time, to put it in layman's terms, if the FBI was investigating me, Pat Fish, because their terrorism guys thought I was conniving with Osama to blow up the state of Delaware....AND the FBI criminal guys were investigating me, Pat Fish, because they thought I was making bombs to blow up the state of Delaware (assuming making bombs to blow up a state to be a federal crime, again I'm muddled), then, well, let me stop this sentence here.

Okay, now the terrorism invesigators discover that I am about to kill my next door neighbor because he has discovered about my bomb plan. But in order to inform the guys investigating my criminal activities of my murder plan, they must consult with this alphabet group then that alphabet group, and the alphabet groups will pass along my murder plans to the criminal guys IF it deems it necessary.

So the terrorism guy is also onto the fact that I'm about to hit Dover within a day so he figures, fooey, one neighbor doesn't much matter when the whole state of Delaware is at risk.

At least this is kinda how normal people act, not that bureauracies know anything about normal people.

That's my simple synopsis and somewhere in my muddled I understand that there lies some noble principal that is intended to protect, me, Pat Fish, from unwarranted intrusion into my civil liberties by government investigatory agencies.

Anyway, What the hell is Gorelick doing on that commission? I expect to see the Times and Wapo all over this disgrace.

Gorelick created THE WALL without which 911 would likely not have happened. That she is on the commission rather than testifying before it is beyond farce.

Is there any doubt who is responsible for this sick joke?

Much to her old boss's chagrin, she is actually performing a worthwhile function. Rather than helping to revise clinton's sorry legacy, her presence on the commission is simply underscoring it.

Nonetheless, remove this latest clinton insult to our country. Now!

"These procedures, which go beyond what is legally required..."

What, pray tell, is Jamie Gorelick doing asking questions? She should be answering them, instead...

[snarkpup]

Incredible stuff! If you only read one formerly classified document today, this should be it.

[JustPiper]

Ooooooooo,fits her name Gore Lick!
What were the memo's they were haranguing Ashcroft about from Pickard?

[JustPiper]

When John said a member of the commission, I loved how all the dims scrambled and was dying to find out which one it was, was hoping it was Kerry ;)
