The White House: A New Fight Over Secret 9/11 Docs
Squaring off: Bush may be coming to blows with the 9-11 commission
over access to his top secret intelligence briefings
By Michael Isikoff
Newsweek Feb. 16 issue -
The White House is facing a new battle with the federal panel
investigating 9/11.
To mollify the panel chair, former governor Thomas Kean, President
George W. Bush last week reversed course and agreed to a two-month
extension that is supposed to ensure a final 9/11 report by July.
But that might not be enough.
Commission sources tell NEWSWEEK that panel members are fed up with
what one calls "maddening" restrictions by White House lawyers on
their access to key documents.
Unless the panel gets to see the docs, the report "will not withstand
the laugh test," a commission official says.
The panel is threatening to force a showdown soon--by voting to
subpoena the White House.
