/p>You just make this stuff up as you go along, don't you? If the Republican staffer exists and you didn't just put words in his mouth than this person is dishonorable, disloyal to his employers and his country. He is disrespectful to his elders. Indeed his only loyalty is to twisted, perverted standards of his party and your wretched lying rag.
Ashcroft voluntarily declassifies a document that he think will embarrass a Democratic member of the commission, but the Bush administration holds back Clinton documents that show Clinton, unlike the passive GWB, authorizing the killing of Bin Laden. Ashcroft contends there is no such order; he just never read it. He needs the Patriot Act to hide his massive incompetence. Just when did Rice finally read the August 6th memo? Maybe if George had scored more than the @560 on the verbal part of the SAT he would have been able to understand the memo. Sorry the memo wasn't explicit enough for Mr. Verbally Impaired. It should have told him that 5 Al Qaeda members would hijack American Airlines Flight 11 and fly it into the World Trade Center. Then he would have moved heaven and earth.
p>Why don't you ask for Ashcroft's resignation or Phillip Zelikow as Exec. Director of the commission; he participated as a member of Rice's NSC in actions immediately prior to 9/11? Hypocrisy is the nicest thing one can say about the level of ...well, you can't even call what you put out journalism. If it was only on paper, it would be good for only one thing. br> -- Debra Cooper br> New York, New York /p> p> The 9/11 commission is now impotent. Not only must Gorelick resign but all of the members who fail to see her folly, especially the chairman. The staffers said it best. Most of these guys are has-beens. There is absolutely no reason that they should have been on the talk show/news circuit blathering and pontificating. br> -- Bob Kofira br> Alpine, Arizona /p> p> Give me a break! If Gorelick should step down, so should Zelikow (he is Condi's writing buddy). While we are at it, I suggest Scalia should step down from Cheney's case too. You can't have it both ways. Selective document declassification and selective recusal demands are hypocrisy at it its worst! br> --
