That Giant Sucking Sound

Seems everybody (except the main streaam media) is in an uproar over the fact

that intelligence officials reportedly ID'd hijack ringleader Mohamed Atta as part of an al-Qaida cell in the U.S. over a year before the September 11 tragedy, saying the panel was acting politically instead of factually.

"...over a year..." isn't quite accurate. It was back in 1999. Now, let's put on our Memory Caps. Who was President back in 1999? Who's administration do we have to thank for this ostrich imitation? Was it Bush2? No. Was it Bush1? Wrong again. Must have been that demon of the Republican party, Ronald Reagan. Negative.
It was Slick Willie himself! Yet we hear NOTHING from the mainstream propagandists. Had it been a Republican administration, it would be front page / lead story material for months. Calls for impeachment hearings would ring out from every media outlet in the country. But alas, nary a whimper.

Well just WHAT DID the Slickmeister consider a threat to the nation?
He allowed the FBI to murder Randy Weaver's labrador retreiver, 14 year old son, and his wife.
Under the watchful eye of Janet Reno, Clinton permited the gassing and murder of approximately 80 Americans, all without being charged with a crime, let alone facing a jury.
He conveniently ignored the middle eastern connection to Oklahoma City.
No need to bother with another innocent group of middle easterners with national security threats like that. (My tongue is firmly implanted in my cheek.)

And just how did the "extrodinary" 9-11 Commission miss this one?

"… [W]hy did [the commission] ignore the Able Danger operation in their deliberations?" asked Captain's Quarters blogger Ed Morrissey, as highlighted by columnist Michelle Malkin. "It would emphasize that the problem was not primarily operational, as the commission made it seem, but primarily political – and that the biggest problem was the enforced separation between law enforcement and intelligence operations upon which the Clinton Department of Justice insisted. The hatchet person for that policy sat on the Commission itself: Jamie S. Gorelick."
It was Gorelick who, as deputy attorney general in the Clinton Justice Department, established the wall of silence between intel and law enforcement.
One commentator specifically points his finger at former Clinton staffer Jamie Gorelick, a member of the panel who has been accused in the past of acting to protect her ex-boss from any political fallout of the commission's work.

Never believe a government investigation of itself.

Oh, that giant sucking sound? Bill Clinton's legacy going down the drain.
