John Podhertz: Compulsive Liar

Earlier today, we noted that several right wing bloggers – including the National Review’s John Podhertz – were lying about the impact of a 1995 memo written by Jamie Gorelick. Podhertz and others claimed the memo prevented the Department of Defense from sharing information about Mohammed Atta and other terrorists with the FBI. In fact, the Gorelick memo dealt exclusively with the sharing of information between the FBI and the criminal division of the Justice Department.

Caught in a lie this morning, Podhertz lied again this afternoon. ...

But the second version of Podhertz’s claim is equally ridiculous, to the extent it’s even comprehensible. This was a classified Justice Department memo. It’s highly unlikely that it was seen by anyone in the Department of Defense at all, much less the people involved in the Able Danger program.

But, here's the question and the motivation:

For good measure Podhertz throws in an insult to Think Progress readers:

"Don’t read anything. Just continue to serve as an e-mail robot. It’s probably the best you guys can do."

E-mail robots, activate! Contact Podhertz at [e-mail] and ask him a simple question: Do you stand by your statement that the Gorelick memo prevented the Able Danger information from being shared or not?

Let the questioning begin!!! ;)


Peace.
