I notice that no-one is answering Strick's question.

But as we have got onto the subject of "walls", here's an excerpt from a piece by Mark Steyn in the "Daily Telegraph" today:

"The only thing everyone seems to agree on is that counter-intelligence was severely hobbled by the so-called "wall" erected between the CIA and FBI. Who put up this "wall", or at any rate extended it several feet higher than previously? Why, former Clinton-era Deputy Attorney-General Jamie Gorelick. Has she testified before the Commission? Well, no, because she's on it. That would seem to be a prima facie conflict of interest. But instead she's huffing indignantly about being a victim of "partisan rancor". "Partisan rancour" is wholly improper unless directed at Bush and Ashcroft."

He also has quite a good line on the Iraq - Vietnam comparisonists.

"The only relevant Vietnamese comparison is this: then as now, for America it's a choice between victory or self-defeat."

The article was entitled, "Stop whimpering, we're in a battle."
