“Testifying before the 9/11 Commission in [April 13] 2004, [Attorney General John] Ashcroft claimed that ‘the single greatest structural cause for September 11 was the wall that segregated criminal investigators and intelligence agents [in different departments of the intelligence community].’ [Former Deputy Attorney General Jamie] Gorelick herself, he alleged, had ‘built that wall through her March 1995 memo.’ At the time he made the statement, Gorelick was on the dais facing Ashcroft as one of the ten 9/11 Commissioners.”
