its knowledge of Al Queada operatives in this country due to laws that were executed according to the Gorelick procedures. This is true largely because the four suspects were in the country legally and had committed no crimes in the US (and they were not wanted for crimes abroad).

Two things will be intentionally omitted by right wing spinners like Limbaugh and Hannity:

1) The Gorelick memo was reviewed by the Ashcroft Justice Department and found by this Bush Administration to be the propoer procedure- they could have changed procedures had they seen problems but they gave it thumbs up!!!

2). The laws that were executed by Gorelick were written in the 70's after Conservative Republican War-mongering thug, Richard Nixon, had used intelligence assets to illegally spy on Americans for his own (not national) purposes. These laws were written because this country found that conservatives could not be trusted with the office.
