WASHINGTON - The federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks will get greater access to classified intelligence briefings prepared for President Bush (news - web sites) under an agreement announced 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 but couldn't take the summaries with them. Under the agreement, the entire commission were allowed to read versions of the summaries that were edited by the White House.

Commissioners reviewed the materials in a daylong meeting Tuesday and said the information provided a better understanding of what the government knew prior to Sept. 11. The panel now is seeking additional interviews with several officials, including national security adviser Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites).

"The report we have today raised some questions," said former New Jersey Gov. Thomas H. Kean, chairman of the commission. "There are questions that go to what happened, the history of al-Qaida and the history of the Clinton and Bush administrations."

2. The panel feels the regime-edited memos are sufficient

The regime has decreed that the 9-11 events not be looked into too closely, and the panel of patriots agrees that this is the best decision for all concerned.
