Actually I was referencing the issues being addressed by Sen Slade Gorton (R-WA), who was a member of the 9-11 Commission as he was interviewed on the Bill O'Reilly *show*. Just pointing out that he refutes all the points you claimed coming out of the Bush disinformation administration. "Gorton made this point unequivocally to O'Reilly. Responding to O'Reilly's repebreastion of the suggestion that Gorelick was somehow responsible for pre-9-11 intelligence failures, Gorton pointed out that "nothing Jamie Gorelick wrote had the slightest impact on the Department of Defense or its willingness or ability to share intelligence information with other intelligence agencies." In addition, Gorton noted that the wall predated Gorelick and Reno and was actually "created by laws sponsored by the Church Committee also known as the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities back in the 1970s" and "went all the way through until after 9-11 was over." As far as that "Able Danger" bit, it seems they looked into that as well. Remember, this is coming from a "Republican", so it must be true... GORTON: What we know on the 9-11 Commission is that he told us nothing about Mohammed Atta or anyone else in Afghanistan, but he did tell us about Able Danger. We followed up on Able Danger. We got records about Able Danger from the Department of Defense. It had nothing about Mohammed Atta in it. O'REILLY: OK. And I believe you. I believe you. You know "default poster", it really isn't all that hard to fact check these lies and spin and smoke coming out of this administration. Try it sometime...if you have any interest in the facts, that is, which I doubt.
