From David Ignatius in the Washington Post:
And it's reassuring, too, that the commission united partly because of a vicious partisan attack by Attorney General John Ashcroft on one of its Democratic members, Clinton administration deputy attorney general Jamie Gorelick. You don't have to be a friend of Gorelick's (which I happen to be) to think that Ashcroft's attempt to blame her personally for the FBI's problems on Sept. 11 was a smear. When the Bushies tried to divide the commission in this way, the 10 members instead came together. Bravo.
Apparently, bipartisanship means never being mean to the cool kids. No matter what policies they put in place or how much they compromise the integrity of an important investigation.
