WASHINGTON - The federal panel reviewing the Sept. 11 attacks has scheduled interviews with former President Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore this month but is struggling to get similar cooperation from President Bush and administration officials.

Members of the bipartisan commission said they were considering a subpoena to force the public testimony of national security adviser Condoleezza Rice. She has declined to appear at the panel's two-day hearing later this month.

The 10-member commission also requested private meetings with Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney about what the administration knew before the attacks, potentially a sensitive subject in an election year.

While Clinton and Gore have consented to private questioning without a time constraint, Bush and Cheney have agreed only to private, separate, one-hour meetings with the commission's chairman and vice chairman, instead of the full panel.

1. This should be front page news across the country...

CLINTON COOPERATES WITH 9/11 INVESTIGATION, BUSH DOESN'T

2. Absolutely

I remember there was a poster here a few days ago (probably from that "other" Web site) who kept saying Clinton put a time limit on his testimony, too. Yeah, right. :eyes:

3. let's rate this one a "5"

I love that DUer's headline: "Clinton cooperates with 9/11 panel, Bush does not"


somehow, some way, the freepish Clinton-obsessed will find a way to convince themselves that this actually makes Clinton look bad, Bush look good. Should be an interesting excercise in doublethink :evilgrin:

4. Freepers are already freeping

Look at the rating....3.65?!

5. Wonder why they agreed to give it privately?

Seems to me that both of them should have requested public testimony so they could add pressure for Bush/Cheney to do the same.
