Sensenbrenner Calls on Gorelick to Resign From Sept. 11 Commission
Tampa Bay on line (AP) ^ | 04-14-04 | The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner called on Jamie Gorelick to resign from the Sept. 11 commission Wednesday, citing a memo she wrote as a deputy attorney general on separating counterintelligence from criminal investigations. "Scrutiny of this policy lies at the heart of the commission's work," said Sensenbrenner, R-Wis. "Ms. Gorelick has an inherent conflict of interest as the author of this memo and as a government official at the center of the events in questions."

On Tuesday, Attorney General John Ashcroft released the declassified 1995 memo from Gorelick containing instructions that "more clearly separate" counterintelligence from criminal investigations. He said the "wall" between counterintelligence and criminal investigations was a key impediment to terrorism probes before the Sept. 11 attacks.

The Landmark Legal Foundation, a conservative law firm, also has called on Gorelick to step down, citing the memo.

A phone message left with the Sept. 11 commission was not immediately returned Wednesday.

A Republican will end up resigning. Gorelick will remain on the Committee.

So has it been; so will it be.

" How do you like being responsible for blocking investigations "

Last night when that dolt reporter ask Pres. Bush if he would appologize to the victims of 9ll, I just about lost my dinner......do you suppose Ms. Gorelick will appologize to them??? I won't hold my breath.

"...could have prevented 9/11..."

You are exactly right. There are all these press people calling for apologies when it is the terroists fault...EXCEPT for this woman who, in this memo, TRULY helped bring about 911. This woman does have responsibility for bringing about 911...incredible!

Dick Cheney should step up and tell the commission this administration will no longer participate in this investigation until Ms Gorelick is removed!

Exactly. Time to "Take this commission and shove it"!

Wow, a Republican with a spine?

Sadly, more and more these days such a phenomenon is one for Robert L. Ripley.

That "man on the left" who you think looks like Cammandant Klink, is one of the Republican dolts on the commission. He is former Sen. Slade Gorton. Never have I seen a more useless bunch than that crew of five Republican commissioners.

RISE UP AND CALL FOR LICK-GORE'S RESIGNATION FROM THE 9/11 COMMITTEE

I just called Congressman Paul Gillmor's office (5th District, Ohio). I "gave 'em the gospel", asking the Congressman to endorse Sensenbrenner's statement.

Ironically, the intern that answered the phone lives about five miles from me - I know his folks!

As a matter of fact, it was Dashole, at least in Benviniste's case. If he had the stroke to appoint any one, he likley had it to give a thumbs up or down on others.

How do you like being responsible for blocking investigations that could have prevented 9/11?

An obstruction of justice investigation should begin on her. And, if I've heard right, the policy was "unconstitutional". If that be the case, she should be tried for violating the constitutional rights of all 9-11 victims.

With Gorelick being one of the clintonista leftovers, I can't think of anything the left would like better to have happen. Anything that shames el slicko, is great for America. </ sarcasm>
