Some instant perspective on Gorelick and conflicts:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO212A.html

New Chairman of 9/11 Commission
had business ties with Osama's Brother in Law
by Michel Chossudovsky


Unknown to most, UNOCAL's partner in the Cent-Gas trans-Afghan pipeline consortium, the Saudi Company Delta Oil is owned by the bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi clans which allegedly have ties to bin Laden’s Al Qaeda.

According to a 1998 Senate testimony of former CIA director James Woolsey, powerful financier Khalid bin Mahfouz’ younger sister is married to Osama bin Laden,. (US Senate, Senate Judiciary Committee, Federal News Service, 3 Sept. 1998, See also Wayne Madsen, Questionable Ties, In These Times,12 Nov. 2001 )

Bin Mahfouz is suspected to have funnelled millions of dollars to the Al Qaeda network.(See Tom Flocco, Scoop.co.nz 28 Aug. 2002)

Now, "by sheer coincidence", former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean, the man chosen by President Bush to lead the 9/11 commission also has business ties with bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi.

Thomas Kean is a director (and shareholder) of Amerada Hess Corporation , which is involved in the Hess-Delta joint venture with Delta Oil of Saudi Arabia (owned by the bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi clans).


I posted some of this elsewhere, but thought it deserved its own thread due to what I perceive as the high importance of the material.

1. Kean said on C-Span this morning
that everyone on the commission has conflicts and everyone on the commission knows it as do many of the staff people. Their agreement when they started was when something came up that they had something to do with they would stay out of that part of it. He said Gorelick is one on the most well-informed people on the commission - as to the overall.

2. Well, there seem to be a lot of people on this board calling for
Gorelick's head, following the Ashcroft red herring. I just wanted to restore some perspective.
