White House Refuses Doc. Request for 9-11 Investigation

by on

AP reports that the White House has failed to cooperate with the bi-partisan commission investigating the 9-11 attacks. This action takes the form of refusing to provide essential documents to the commission despite the threat of a subpoena. The panel is facing a May 27, 2004 deadline to complete its work.

  • According to an October 26 New York Times article, “The chairman (of the 9-11 Commission), Thomas H. Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, also said in an interview on Friday that he believed the bipartisan 10-member commission would soon be forced to issue subpoenas to other executive branch agencies because of continuing delays by the Bush administration in providing documents and other evidence needed by the panel.”
