Can you believe this? John Ashcroft has exposed the source of communications failures between federal law enforcement and intelligence services (i.e., Jamie Gorelick and her wall), and provides the president with support these last few weeks at a time when certain Democrats on the 9/11 Commission and Richard Clarke were smearing his administration, and Bush yanks the rug from under Ashcroft in Nixonian manner. This comes just days after Bush helped defeat Pat Toomey. Am I missing something?

Reuters: The [Justice] department posted the documents [showing USA Mary Jo White’s objection to the Gorelick wall] on its Web site late on Wednesday as “supplementary material” to Ashcroft’s testimony to the panel earlier this month.
“We were not involved in it,” McClellan said. “The president was disappointed about that …. He’s disappointed that that information was placed on their Web site like that.”
