As noted in the editorial and elsewhere, the intelligence wall was removed post-9/11, so it is no longer an obstacle to our defense. It seems to me the only reason people would want to foster an "uninhibited" discussion of the contents of the Gorelick memo among the commissioners would be to attach a comprehensive and uninhibited amount of blame for a past act, now rectified, on a member of the other party.

You do realize that there are sunset provisions in the Patriot Act, don't you?
