The Bush administration is trying to cover up the findings of a Congressional report on 9/11 - including material that top intelligence officials have already testified to in public hearings. It is difficult to tell whether they are motivated by fear of political fallout so close to the next election, or rather the ingrained culture of secrecy that permeates the intelligence community and the highest levels of the current White House. Story here.
A quote from the above: The tensions over the release of 9-11 related material seems especially relevant—if not ironic—in light of recent reports that the president’s political advisers have devised an unusual re-election strategy that essentially uses the story of September 11 as the liftoff for his campaign. The White House is delaying the Republican nominating convention, scheduled for New York City, until the first week in September 2004—the latest in the party’s history. That would allow Bush’s acceptance speech, now slated for Sept. 2, to meld seamlessly into 9-11 commemoration events due to take place in the city the next week. Fark.
