Jamie Gorelick, the individual most singularly responsible for those lapses, somehow wormed her way onto the commission. And were it not for the dogged bluntness of former Attorney General John Ashcroft, who publicly exposed her complicity in America's security breakdown, Gorelick might have accomplished what appeared to be her primary mission on that panel, which was to deflect serious scrutiny from the Clintons.

Simultaneously, former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger filled the role of a "field operative" within this liberal "insurgency," destroying crucial documents at the National Archives that might have proven incriminating to the former administration. Again, the first order of business seems to have been political "damage control," with the fate of the nation being comparatively unimportant.

Meanwhile, liberals have been busy on Capitol Hill, and on the nightly news, continuing to minimize America's successes in the terror war, while magnifying any possible wrongdoing by American troops. Lately, they advanced their sordid cause by finding a tiny handful of disgruntled military retirees who are willing to publicly disparage Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

In the aftermath of the Delay indictment, and fueled by the malfeasance of California Republican Duke Cunningham, House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi invoked her broad brush and jubilantly painted Congressional Republicans as embodying a "culture of corruption."

Meanwhile, Democrat actions have shown for some time that their party embraces nothing less than a culture of sedition. In the past few days, Rush Limbaugh upgraded their status to a "culture of treason." That shoe fits.

It might appear that some culpability for the present situation lies with President Bush. Under the auspices of his misbegotten "new tone," he allowed far too many appointees from the Clinton Administration to retain their offices and continue their corrosive activity from within the halls of power.

But who could blame him for failing to anticipate the depths of treachery to which they were willing to sink in their pursuit of political power? Nevertheless, with each passing day, they prove their willingness to corrupt the system in perpetual service to their sordid cause.

The damage they have inflicted is grave, and the sooner their likes are broomed from critical positions, the better the nation will fare. It is a hard-learned and bitter lesson that real America should never forget.
