9/11 Commission Says It Needs More Time to Complete Inquiry

By PHILIP SHENON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 — The independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks announced on Tuesday that it was seeking an extension of its deadline to complete the investigation until at least July, raising the prospect of a public fight with the White House and a final report delivered in the heat of the presidential campaign.

The White House and Republican Congressional leaders have said they see no need to extend the congressionally mandated deadline, now set for May 27, and a spokesman for Speaker J. Dennis Hastert said Tuesday that Mr. Hastert would oppose any legislation to grant the extension.

But commission officials said there was no way to finish their work on time, a situation they attribute in part to delays by the Bush administration in turning over documents and other evidence.

1. Candidates Should Expose This!

Or are they too afraid? Why did spineless Daschle yank Cleland off the Commission so he could get replaced by a Bush-friendly thug? Bushco's resistance to the investigation has been nothing short of nauseating. They knew. Damn them.

Maybe it was Cleland's wish:
