Quizzing Them on 9/11
Bush and Clinton may be asked to meet with the independent commission investigating the terrorist attacks



Sunday, Jul. 06, 2003
Will President Bush be summoned before the independent commission investigating 9/11? It now appears very likely. John Lehman, Ronald Reagan's Navy Secretary and one of five Republicans on the 10-member panel, told TIME that he wants both President Bush and former President Clinton to meet with the commission and discuss matters that could include what their Administrations knew about the al-Qaeda terrorist plots—and what was done to combat them—before the 9/11 attacks.

With the commission evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, Lehman's position makes it all but certain that a majority will support a request to interview Bush and Clinton. "I don't think any commission should ever formally call a President to testify," Lehman said, "but I think it is very much in the country's interest—and in both President Clinton's and President Bush's interest—to meet directly with the commissioners." Responded White House press secretary Ari Fleischer: "The White House has been and will continue to cooperate with the commission."

2. WOW!!!!!!!!

this is getting real ugly for bush* and his cabal. I would love to see Bill testify that his administration warned them about bin Laden and that they just ignored everything they were told by the Clinton Administration. I would just love it to see bush* sweating big bullets while he is under oath.

5. Underwhelmed

I think this is just going to be another Warren Commission whitewash job.

I highly doubt we'll get to see W and Bill testify publicly.

Nice thought, though.

7. I'd like to see

them ask and find out the Clinton administration had a meeting about terrorism every morning and then find out that the Busholinis changed it to a prayer breakfast.

8. Terrorism was the topic twice a week

in Clinton's security council and twice TOTAL in Bush's before 911, even though Berger had warned them it would take up most of their time. This I read in one of the Cooperative Research articles.
