I don't recall you raising large issues about Zelikow's conflict of interest when the commission began. I don't recall anybody else doing so either. Gorlick was known as a major player when the commission was set up and was a major mistake. Now we know just how key she was. She wrote the paper that set up the "wall," for God sake! Well, then you don't recall well. There was a loud cry that went up from Dem quarters, at a minimum, because of Zelikow's role in the Bush administration. Of course, there were complaints. I just don't recall anyone of you arguing he faced a conflict of interest. But you are now trotting out this business about Gorelick. So far I see nothing more than the very common attempt to undermine the findings of the commission because it dared to be critical of the Bush folk. Now that the hearing is over, we KNOW she should have been testifying instead of running the committee. Able Danger just makes it even worse. If you mean Ashcroft's testimony, forget about it. As for Able Danger, there is not enough on the table yet to make strong claims about it. Your attempts like this at "your another" arguments really make you look bad. I wasn't aware I could look worse. I gather you are now, in the interests of fairness, going to post this claim, "you are making yourself look bad" when any poster does a quick rejoinder. Since that seems to be the basic style of conversation for several members of the thread, you will be quite busy.
