There seems to be a campaign launched by blogs on the Left to write attack e-mails demanding “corrections” from me and others regarding the role of Jamie Gorelick’s 1995 “wall” memo and its resulting effect on the Able Danger matter. Here’s what I think, and what I have said for more than a week now: The 1981 executive order governing intelligence matters specifically gives military intelligence a right to share information with the FBI. But when the deputy attorney general, in 1995, writes a memo insisting that when it comes to sharing intelligence, it is important to go ‘beyond the letter of the law” — and she is the same person who was the general counsel at the Pentagon before that — said memo indicates a mindset in the government about the dangers and inherent incorrectness about the sharing of intelligence information that was very dangerous. That’s what 9/11 proved in part, and why a lot of us think Gorelick’s “wall” memo was important and reflective of a mindset consensus. But don’t take my word for it. Consider how damaging Mary Jo White, the Clinton appointee who was U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, reacted to Gorelick — with horror and outrage at the difficulties she was placing in the path of those tasked with the challenge of rooting out stateless terrorists.

Or, on second thought, don’t read Mary Jo White. Don’t read anything. Just continue to serve as an e-mail robot. It’s probably the best you guys can do.
