But it's not serious enough to withhold judgment on, at least not to me. True. Conversely it's not serious enough to expend energy in group relish. And yes, I did have fun with that. Except of course that it is fun. It's great entertainment for a lot of people. Hot fudge sundaes are fun, too, but then we end up with a nation of fatties. Sometimes what seems like innocent fun isn't so innocent. Sheesh. I sound like a Baptist preacher... I've been busy lately with this and that so mostly tune into this mostly while in the car. I've watched very little of it. I'm waiting for the report. I'm an executive summary sort of gal. And I don't have to be the first kid on the block to hold an opinion. They'll need to reach a consensus. I'm fully expecting them to do that. And whatever consensus they come up with, I will accept as "close enough for government work." The rest of it will drift off into my sunset.

In addition to the absurdity of Gorelick being on a board investigating a problem she had a hand in creating, there is THIS conflict of interest: For Jamie Gorelick, answering a simple question is not enough. Gorelick is a litigation partner in the Washington law firm of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering. Gorelick was formerly the number two person at the Department of Justice where she held the position of Deputy Attorney General of the United States. According to Newsweek, Gorelick’s firm has agreed to represent Prince Mohammed al Faisal in the suit by the 9/11 families. The families contend that al Faisal has legal responsibility for the 9/11 attacks. While her firm is representing Saudi interests against the 9/11 families, Ms. Gorelick is a member of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon The United States. pla.blogspot.com
