The
Truth
About
'
the
Wall'
By
Jamie
S
. Gorelick-
A
a
member
of
the
911
commission
:-
'
At
last
week's
hearing
, Attorney
General
John
Ashcroft, facing
criticism
, asserted
that
"
the
single
greatest
structural
cause
for
September
11
was
the
wall
that
segregated
criminal
investigators
and
intelligence
agents"
and
that
I
built
that
wall
through
a
March
1995 memo.
This
is
simply
not
true
.
First
,
I
did
not
invent
the
"
wall
,"
which
is
not
a
wall
but
a
set
of
procedures... '

My
memo directed agents
on
both
sides
to
share
information
--
and
,
in
particular
, directed
one
agent
to
work
on
both
the
criminal
and
intelligence
investigations
--
to
ensure
the
flow
of
information
'
over
the
wall
.' "
