9/11 Victims' Relatives Want Deal Details

WASHINGTON - Relatives of people who perished in the Sept. 11 terror attacks are urging a federal commission to disclose the fine print of its deal with the White House that gives the panel restricted access to sensitive intelligence documents.



The Family Steering Committee, a group of victims' relatives monitoring the work of the independent commission on Sept. 11, said the restrictions are unacceptable.


"The full, official, and final written agreement that was reached between the commission and the White House should be released to the American public in its entirety," the group said a statement Thursday. "The American public should be fully informed as to all legal restrictions and limitations placed within this agreement."

Neither the commission nor the White House disclosed details of the agreement.

damn documents. We don't want another whitewash!!!!!!!!!!

but I doubt it. :( Must be too much info in there to tarnish the Bushies.

:grr:

maybe James Baker can take these families to court

I cannot believe how horribly they have been treated by this administration. The pain they have had to go through must be unbearable at times.

It should be splashed on headlines everywhere.

it will have been because of these families. As much as the Bush Admin doesn't want to give access to the investigation, they also can't have the families of the victims on CNN demanding answers.

I'd like to see that--give the Families subpoena power.

<snip>But two commissioners criticized the deal, saying it places unwarranted restrictions on the panel's work. They did not specify what these restrictions were.

The commission will designate a four-person subcommittee that will examine documents, but in some instances, only two of those members will have firsthand access.


....gee do you think the two "with access" will be repukes covering for chimpass*? What a fucking deal all right! :grr:

The Security of the Bush Regime depends on it being buried. Time to put the 40 year seal on it like the JFK murder. Nobody seems to care as long as we are killing terrorists and expending ammo everyday.
It makes me sick. These families suffer just as most of the rest of the world under these despots.

Vital that American citizens know exactly what the hell happened here; if Chimpy has something to hide, even more vital...
This makes me ill...
