Gorelick to Help Draft 9/11 Report
9/11 Commission member and former DOJ official Jamie Gorelick will prepare part of the draft of the final report of the 9/11 Commission:
Al Felzenberg, spokesman for the commission, said Ms. Gorelick's recusal applies to the time she was deputy attorney general at the Justice Department, so she is free to take part in the investigation and drafting of the report for anything that happened after she left. That, he said, includes the legal barrier known as "the wall," which prevented the sharing of information between law-enforcement and intelligence officials. "The wall as it existed after she left, the wall as it existed in the beginning of the Bush administration, she's perfectly free to ask questions about," Mr. Felzenberg said.

Update: 11 Republican Senators are calling upon Gorelick to testify.
