1993 World Trade Center bombing
Political analysts observed the success of the [[Republican Party]] was the result of the Clinton Administration attempting to move the country towards socialism at the very moment the failures of socialism were so evident worldwide.

==1993 World Trade Center bombing and aftermath==
'''Jamie S. Gorelick''' served as Deputy Attorney General under [[Janet Reno]]. A significant part of the 9/11 commission's report considered whether she or Ashcroft was more to blame for the effects of the "wall" she created between CIA and FBI; see [[1995 Gorelick memo]]. The ''Wall Street Journal'' reported that
:During the investigation of the first [[World Trade Center]] bombing, Gorelick instructed then-FBI Director Louis Freeh and United States Attorney Mary Jo White that for the sake of "appearances" they would be required to adhere to an interpretation of the wall far stricter than the law required.

Also in the ''Journal'':
:The Mary Jo White prosecutions and the 2001 Moussaoui arrest were among our best chances to uncover and unravel the al Qaeda network before it struck the homeland. But thanks in part to the Clinton Administration's concern with appearances and in part to its legacy, these investigations were hamstrung.

Scott Wheeler noted:
:Because the memo created a barrier for U.S. intelligence agencies to share information with the FBI, one of its unintended consequences might have been to prevent the FBI from receiving the necessary intelligence to stop the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the worst in American history. <ref>http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/4/26/153933.shtml</ref>
Attorney General [[John Ashcroft]] told the [[9/11 commission]]:
:"The simple fact of September 11th is this ... We did not know an attack was coming because for nearly a decade our government had blinded itself to its enemies. Our agents were isolated by government-imposed walls." <ref>http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/4/26/153933.shtml</ref>
"The Clinton administration neutered the American intelligence agencies that could have stopped the September 11 plot." <ref>http://thecitytroll.blogspot.com/2007/09/reminder-of-who-clintons-are-owned-by.html</ref>
