9/11 Panel Threatens to Issue Subpoena for Bush's Briefings

By PHILIP SHENON

February 10, 2004

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 — Members of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks warned the White House on Monday that it could face a politically damaging subpoena this week if it refused to turn over information from the highly classified Oval Office intelligence reports given to President Bush before 9/11.

The panel's chairman, Thomas H. Kean, a Republican and the former governor of New Jersey, said through a spokesman that he was hopeful an agreement would be worked out before the commission's next meeting, on Tuesday. Commission officials said that negotiations continued throughout the day on Monday and into the evening with the office of Alberto R. Gonzales, the White House counsel.

But other members of the commission said that without an immediate resolution, they would call for a vote on Tuesday on issuing a subpoena to the White House for access to information in the documents. The papers are known as the President's Daily Brief, the intelligence summary prepared each morning for Mr. Bush by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Responding to earlier threats of a subpoena, the White House agreed last year to allow three members of the 10-member commission and the panel's Republican staff director to review portions of the daily briefings from before the Sept. 11 attacks that referred to intelligence warnings about Al Qaeda and its plans for terrorist attacks.

The commission has described the briefings as vital since they would show whether the White House had warnings of a catastrophic terrorist attack. The White House has acknowledged that one briefing Mr. Bush saw in August 2001 referred to the possibility of a Qaeda strike with commercial airplanes.

In recent weeks, however, the White House has refused to give permission for the four members of the delegation to share their handwritten and computerized notes — which have been retained by the White House under the agreement — with the full commission. That has outraged Democrats and Republicans on the panel and prompted the renewed threat of a subpoena.

isnt it obvious

Bush obviously planned 9/11 and if you did that everyone would find out

Which is why the records have to be subpoened to clear Bush's name and so he'll be elected for another glorious 4 more years. Why hold back the PDB's and leave in doubt his innocnence in 9/11?

Panel sees edited CIA memos

11/02/2004 11:29 - (SA)

Washington - The US federal commission investigating the September 11 attacks will get greater access to classified intelligence briefings prepared for President George W Bush under an agreement with the White House.

The 10-member, bipartisan panel had been barred from reviewing notes taken by three commissioners and the commission's executive director, Philip Zelikow, who reviewed the data in December but couldn't take the summaries with them. Under the agreement, which was announced on Tuesday, the entire commission was allowed to read versions of the summaries that were edited by the White House.

The panel is now is seeking additional interviews with several officials, including national security adviser Condoleezza Rice.

"The report we have today raised some questions," said former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean, who chairs the commission. "There are questions that go to what happened, the history of al-Qaeda and the history of the Clinton and Bush administrations."

The materials in question are the presidential daily briefings prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency. They include a memorandum dated one month before the 2001 attacks that discusses the possibility of airline hijackings by al-Qaeda terrorists.

No. Bush KNEW about 9/11 before it happened and the briefs prove it. It doesn't surprise why he refuses to hand them over.

Of course. It's so politically damaging the CIA is having to go back and change their notes that explained the al qaeda threat to the president. This disgraces everyone that died and their families on September 11th.
