		It has long been known that the ‘wall’ between local law enforcement and the intelligence agency that 9-11 Commissioner Jamie Gorelick established while working for Bill Clinton was an obstacle to finding terrorists in our midst pre 9-11.
		Gorelick’s actions were so intense, so strident, that protections where expanded beyong the legal requirement to include visa holders - aka, the 9-11 terrorists.
		I think the commission needs to re-open the role of their commision member who was directly responsible for the law, and the resulting tone in law enforcement circles that led a positive lead to be squashed on the alter of political correctness.
