9/11 Group Says White House Still Has Not Provided Files

Washington - The White House has failed to turn over any of the information requested by the 10 members of the disbanded Sept. 11 commission in their renewed, unofficial investigation into whether the government is doing enough to prevent terrorist attacks on American soil, commission members said.

The members said that the Bush administration's lack of cooperation was hindering a project that was otherwise nearly complete.

Thomas H. Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey who led the bipartisan Sept. 11 commission, said he was surprised and disappointed that the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and several other executive branch agencies had failed to respond to requests made two months ago for updated information on the government's antiterrorism programs.
"It's very disappointing," Mr. Kean said of the administration's failure to cooperate with the group. "All we're trying to do is make the public safer."

1. I'm covering this story on my blog as well..

I find it totally repulsive that the Bush crime team is not cooperating.

Their lack of cooperation would be disgusting under any circumstances, but it is eve more so, when you think about the fact that they talked about 9/11 ad nauseum during the Repug Convention, and they never hesistate to play the terrorism trump card.
