As part of the Clinton era national security team (via her role as deputy Attorney General) Gorelick was out promoting Dick Clarke's view that cybersecurity was "where it's at" for national security:
...
I believe that cyberspace is the next battlefield for this nation.
Now, cyber terrorism may be a new issue to many Americans, but it's not new to me and it's not new to this administration. In 1995, our Attorney General asked me to chair a critical infrastructure working group that brought together Justice and Defense and the intelligence community to begin to address what we saw as a new and emerging threat. The President then appointed a commission on critical infrastructure protection whose advisory board I co-chaired.

No, Ms. Gorelick, the buildings of our nation would be the next battlefield for this nation!
How can you sit on the 9-11 Commission and try to blame the Bush administration for 9-11 when you and your partners in the Clinton administration obviously had it so wrong?
How can liberals insist that Bush "should have known" that bin Laden would use airplanes as missiles when they themselves were busy talking about "cybersecurity" in the years leading up to 9-11?
