"A few more days of this and the commission's work will be tainted." -- Unnamed 9/11 Commission staffer.

Earth to Staffer: It's already too late.

Gorelick shouldn't be "asked" to step aside, she should've been told to step aside because (a) she knew about her role in constructing the "Wall" and knew that the intelligence community's failure to understand, appreciate and communicate what it had would be an issue; (b) she didn't decline to serve, which is what she should have done, because someone who was actively involved in making policy ought not sit in judgment of it (for example, I don't see any current members of the Bush Administration on the Commission ...); and (c) anyone viewing a report Gorelick had a hand in preparing will be entitled to wonder whether her contributions to the problems were downplayed, papered over, whitewashed, etc.
