Apr 15, 2004 Imagine a plot of ground. Standing on that ground are FBI criminal investigators, also standing on that ground are Intelligence agents of the United States. These people are charged with protecting the safety and interests of the United States, right? Now on that same plot of ground imagine a pile of bricks, and no windows.. Now a normal person of reasonable sanity would assume that this group of federal agents would work hand in hand, to achieve the ultimate goal of total and complete protection of the residents and citizens of the United States. Are you with me so far? It gets complicated as we venture and explore this plot of ground. Now, former Attorney General Janet Reno, Assistant Attorney General Jamie S. Gorelick enter the picture. Along with former President of the United States; William Jefferson Clinton and former United States Senator Robert Torricelli. Now the plot gets interesting and confusing. Ms. Gorelick proposed a rule for the above-mentioned agents and investigators. This rule was: They (the agents) were not to share any information they collected separately, this was to become a violation of law that Janet Reno and President Clinton heartily backed and agreed on.. So now we have the agents that can not share information, under threat of punishment and other sanctions. So, Ms. Reno places a brick on the ground between the agents. Ms. Gorelick places another brick next to Reno’s, they keep adding bricks, but President Clinton, being the poor southern boy he is, who built the house he was born in like Former President Lincoln, raises the issue of mortar. He points out that he learned from former President Jimmy Carter that bricks would not stay together without mortar. And everyone knows that Carter is best at building houses, he does it all the time since being run out of the Oval Office by a real President. So Clinton tells Reno and Gorelick that they must have mortar, or their wall will blow down like the first two homes of the three little pigs. Enter Robert Torricelli, Senator, famed for (allegedly) accepting bribes, fundraising by questionable means, and all around suck-up to the Democratic party. The Non-Honorable Torricelli comes up with the perfect mortar for the wall Reno and Gorelick are erecting. (I should say building, because the former description may somehow be objectionable to Ms. Reno). The Non-Honorable Torricelli proclaims: ”Wait!, We can let these agents who are supposed to protect the suckers…er.. residents of the United States gather intelligence. But we cannot allow them to deal with anyone who may have committed a crime, or whom we think may commit a crime against the United Nation’s cherished Human Rights laws. So we must add more to the “rule! Thus became the mortar to hold these bricks in place. This wall will become indestructible, (unless there is an aspirin factory discovered behind it). Former President Clinton, after pulling up his pants proclaimed to the land: “This wall will protect us from all and any harm in the future for all time, or until I leave office, forget about that bombing of the World Trade center in ’93, also forget any attacks on barracks, embassies and all that pesky stuff” So now Reno, Gorelick and Torricelli were all set to build that wall. And build they did! They built this wall so high and strong that it would never come down unless a real president assumed office. The agents stood by helplessly with nothing to do, until Ms. Reno (who had vast experience with terrorists at Waco and Ruby Ridge) instructed them to investigate that nastiest entity of all; “Microsoft”, the company that had the nerve to develop a computer operating system that actually worked, but only with codes that were compatible with it. They also had the audacity to refuse to share their secrets with lesser companies that could not develop an operating system on their own, and were in peril of going out of business, unless Microsoft shared their secrets and codes with them. And that investigation proved to be a success The Company, (Microsoft) was indicted and prosecuted for being a monopoly. They were fined and sanctioned. Meanwhile, Reno, Gorelick and Torricelli were busy building the wall, with President Clinton supervising. But something happened. An agent in the Midwest section of the United States discovered that a couple of men of Middle Eastern heritage were taking flying lessons, in large jets. And they had no reasonable explanation as to why they were taking advantage of the fine educational offers in the United States. This particular agent happened to be a criminal investigator. He reported this to his supervisor, and implied that there may be something suspicious about this activity, and suggested that the information be passed along to the intelligence agents. He was told firmly: “NO!, Remember the wall, to do so would violate the rules and laws.” So this information most likely sat in an in-basket on some chair-warmer’s desk for who knows how long. . Then something unexpected happened. Internet inventor, Great Protector of the Environment and chief iced tea drinking bootlicker of President Clinton, Al Gore, lost the Presidential election, even with the attempts of voiding votes from the people who wear the uniform of the United States Armed Forces, who happened to be stationed overseas. There were great protests all over the land, proclaiming “stolen election”, “faulty voting methods” and “confusing ballots”(designed and approved by The Democratic Party) in the state of Florida. The slurs and insults were thrown about like an episode of the Jerry Springer Show. It was an eye opening experience for all that witnessed it. Then something else later happened, it’s known as September 11, 2001. Some of those “students” whose activities were not allowed to be reported by rule and law as a result of the above mentioned wall, hijacked and flew aircraft loaded with innocent passengers into buildings in New York City, Washington, DC and into the ground in rural Pennsylvania, killing thousands of innocent people. This development outraged people of all political persuasions, excluding; of course, Ralph Nader, Richard Gere, and Michael Moore (a column will follow on him soon) President Bush had investigators determine who was responsible for these horrid actions, and learned it was the Taliban/Al Qeada, based in Afghanistan. He implemented a plan to hunt down and destroy these low forms of life. This turned out to be a successful operation, except for the killing and/or capture Osama bin Laden, the leader of this low form of life. Well, two years or so after these historic attacks, there was formed a commission, aptly named the 9-11 Commission. The non-partisan commission has a vast myriad of members from both sides of political factions. One of which happens to be named Jamie S. Gorelick, we remember her from the wall construction, right? Well, Ms. Gorelick is now demanding why president Bush and his Cabinet members, appointees, and other intelligence gathering people were not able to see through the wall she helped construct. Remember the part about no windows? Ms. Gorelick, I assume believes the present administration should have some type of ‘super vision’ parallel to that of comic book hero Superman. I would like to see Ms. Gorelick questioned by this panel about her construction skills of walls. Because www.useless- knowledge.com requires articles be "family safe" so the site can keep its "general rating" and its advertising networks., I will not in any way comment on Ms. Gorelick’s last name. ------------ About the author: Mike Romer is a politically incorrect, disgruntled resident of New Jersey and thinks a lot of people need their heads screwed on properly.
