No, I am not a prophet. (More on Gorelick.)

No, I’m not a prophet, but my Tuesday post questioning Jamie Gorelick’s participation on the 9-11 Commission sure is making me look like one. Since then, John Ashcroft released a memo that Gorelick wrote when she was in the Clinton Justice Department. This memo clearly played a role in making interagency sharing of information on terrorists more difficult. Gorelick’s memo ordered a separation of criminal and intelligence terrorism investigations that, in her own words, went “beyond what is legally required.�

A lack of coordination and information sharing between federal agencies is widely cited as a factor that made preventing 9-11 difficult.

I join the calls for her to resign from the Commission. Again, she is on the wrong side of the microphones. She’s got some explaining to do. She should be answering some pointed questions instead of asking them. Gorelick says she’s not resigning, however – typical behavior from a Clintonite.

Here’s a summary article, which includes a link to the memo itself.
