    @ Inzoltin' Newbie

    So, Arnie, Paisano! Yer a lawyer and at 500 bucks an hour, you got plenty time to drop in around here.

    No.

    So, I asks you, didn't dear Jamie Gorelick make it awfully hard for that FBI gal to blow a 3000+ lives saving whistle?

    No.

    Didn't her subordinate enforce Gorelick's rules?

    What "rules"?

    Do you know about the Gorelick rules, or is it inconvenient for you to comment 'bout that, cause you are part of Gwenn's lynch mob ' round here?

    I keep hearing about Gorelick's "rules" ... from foaming RWers that haven't a clue. See above.

    You want the skinny of the intelligence (and management) failures that did happen, read Steve Coll's "Ghost Wars" and get back tome when you're done.

    Cheers,
