WorldNetDaily: 9/11 panel hammered for ignoring Atta intel

When John Ashcroft revealed that the chief architect of the deliberate disconnect between the FBI and the CIA and military intelligence services was in fact a member of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Against the United States ("The 9/11 Commission"), the mainstream media had but two words for the revelation: "pooh!" and "pooh!" Indeed, Jamie Gorelick, the implicated Commissioner, brazenly refused to step down. Furthermore, the entire exercise struck many, including me, as an exercise in Democratic Party electioneering.

And now a Republican congressman, Curt Weldon (R-PA), is busy developing evidence of the full magnitude of Gorelick's negligence and of the Commission's error in not summarily dismissing her from its membership.

Curt Weldon, whom the WorldNetDaily article describes as "vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security committees," is my kind of guy. When he sees an elephant in the room, he grabs his four-bore rifle and blasts away. And when people protest about the mess he made, he simply thanks them not to interfere, if they don't want to get hurt themselves.

Already Representative Lee Hamilton, the Democratic co-chairman of the commission, is sputtering, glubbering, gulping, and basically trying to deny his own negligence and dissemblance even in the face of overwhelming evidence. But, since we now have alternative media in this country, this problem simply won't go away, however much the Democrats wish they can ignore it.
