9/11 panel won't be limited to hour with Bush
President will 'answer all the questions,' spokesman saysThe Associated Press Updated: 12:37 p.m. ET March 09, 2004WASHINGTON -

President Bush will privately "answer all the questions" raised by a federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, the White House said Tuesday, dropping a one-hour limit on the president's testimony.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan backed away from previous statements indicating the president's private testimony before the commission's chairman and vice chairman would be limited to one hour, saying, "The president will answer all the questions that they're going to ask."

The shift came on the heels of accusations by presumed Democratic
presidential nominee John Kerry that Bush was "stonewalling" investigations of the terrorist attacks and U.S. intelligence failures.

"It appears he doesn't want to let the facts get in the way of his
campaign," McClellan said of the Massachusetts senator.

6. Yes, TNOE, it IS working. It's making a difference.

Thought I'd post here again because I want people to see my sig line. All the info about that TOLL FREE number to the Capitol Hill switchboard. You can call in and get connected to ANYBODY'S office, and weigh in - FOR FREE!!!

And guys, don't stop here. And don't stop just because maybe you called today. Call again tomorrow. Or call again today - only - to somebody else's office. WE HAVE TO BE SQUEAKY WHEELS!!! That's the only way this stuff gets out there, and gets attention, and gets acted upon. Look how they've caved MORE THAN ONCE on this, now. It's because of public outcry. And they know they're on the hook, bigtime, to public outcry THIS year BECAUSE THIS IS AN ELECTION YEAR. Call. Call again. Call a third time. Call somebody else and call THEM again. And a third time. Repeat as needed.

5. It's like pulling teeth

The key thing to realize: This would have been the only cable pundit topic of conversation for months on end if it had been Gore stonewalling.

[anarchy1999]

9. And well worth the effort.

Pull every tooth left to pull.

Make it be painful.

Make the calls, send the faxes, SCREAM LOUD!

Democracy is hard and requires that we, the citizens be vigilant and hold our elected officials accountable. No ifs, ands or buts.

(I'm listening right now to Rummy in the background and I'm wondering why we are letting them get away with this sh^&^%!?)

Rumsfeld has to go, along with all the rest of these NeoCons. He is as insane as anyone I've ever had the opportunity of knowing in my life.

8. Pigs flew today and the cable networks actually credited Kerry

with pressuring Bush into this. NOW, Kerry, my man, go for the "what's this private meeting with just the two guys bullshit--how about the whole panel"!! And then, I'd give my knickers to see Kerry someday say: The people also deserve a clarification on what the close relationship between the Bush family and the Saudis has been for decades and why when all planes were grounded, and there were so many important decisions to be made, Bush flew the bin Laden family members out of this country and thus kept the CIA/FBI from interviewing valuable assets" Please, Kerry, please, please say that!!

[TNOE]

10. AMEN

to what you said! Welcome to DU :hi: by the way!

[OneTwentyoNine]

12. WOW. Imagine- he's gone from

exploiting 9-11 in an ad, to being panned for it, and now to backing off on the haughty "I don't testify" shit, all in the space of a week.
