9/11 Investigator: Bush Not Releasing Docs Because of 2004 Election

HeadlineOct 27, 2003

The chairman of the federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks Thomas Kean has announced he plans to subpoena documents from the White House if the Bush administration continues to refuse to hand over requested intelligence documents. Fellow commissioner Max Cleland told the New York Times that the commission may not be able to complete its work by its May 2004 deadline. Cleland, a former Democratic senator from Georgia said the Bush administration is purposely stalling the investigation because of the 2004 election. Cleland said, “As each day goes by, we learn that this government knew a whole lot more about these terrorists before Sept. 11 than it has ever admitted.”
