"But this investigation is not a normal circumstance. Congress passed -- and President Bush signed -- a law creating the bipartisan National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States in order to produce an authoritative study of Sept. 11, 2001, and to make recommendations as to how to shield America better in the future. The question of what intelligence the president and his top aides were being given in the run-up to the attacks is obviously central to accomplishing the task with which the commission was charged. If Mr. Bush did not mean to share the country's most sensitive secrets with the commissioners, he should not have signed the bill in the first place. Since he did so, it makes no sense for him now to refuse it access to material its members regard as critical.this editorial is giving bush* a pass with this snip>
"Mr. Bush seems to appreciate that the White House will have to accommodate the commission's needs. At his press conference this week, he said that he wants "to work with Chairman Thomas Kean and Vice-Chairman Lee Hamilton" and that he "believes we can reach a proper accord to protect the integrity of the daily brief process and, at the same time, allow them a chance to take a look and see what was in the . . . the daily briefs." the Post just can't seem to blame bush* for anything, they are always giving him a way out of the screw ups he has done. What will it take for these people of the editorial board to condemn this evil man?
