Misplaced priorities . . . with walls - The Washington Times: Commentary: " From the beginning, Ms. Gorelick's appointment to the September 11 commission was problematic. She served not only as Attorney General Janet Reno's deputy but also as general counsel at the Defense Department, jobs which put her at the heart of the Clinton administration's anti-terrorism efforts. Her actions, as well as those of her superiors, are among the subjects this commission is tasked to review. How can she be expected to be impartial when it comes to evaluating her superiors, much less herself? 'During the course of those investigations,' wrote Ms. Gorelick in 1995, 'significant counterintelligence information has been developed related to the activities and plans of agents of foreign powers operating in this country and overseas, including previously unknown connections between separate terrorist groups.' But Ms. Gorelick wanted to make sure the left hand didn't know what the right was doing. "
