9/11 panel, White House compromise
Commission will see edited versions of intelligence summaries
The Associated Press
Updated: 6:10 p.m. ET Feb. 10, 2004

WASHINGTON - The federal commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks will get greater access to classified intelligence briefings prepared for President Bush under an agreement reached Tuesday with the White House.

The 10-member, bipartisan panel had been barred from reviewing notes taken by three commissioners and the commission?s executive director, Philip Zelikow, who reviewed the data in December. Under the agreement, the entire commission will be allowed to read versions of the summaries that were edited by the White House.

2. More about the censoring

Some commissioners wanted to subpoena the unedited versions but that idea failed on a vote by the full panel.

New interviews planned
Now that the panel has access to versions of the summaries, commission members said they plan to re-interview several witnesses, including national security adviser Condoleezza Rice. Some had complained they couldn?t effectively question her without the information.

Not that it matters- Ms. Rice isn't under oath!
