The Bush administration gave the federal panel reviewing the Sept. 11 attacks access Friday to thousands of classified counterterrorism documents from the Clinton administration.

Bush officials granted the Sept. 11 commission's request to review the material after Bruce Lindsey, former legal adviser to President Clinton, said the administration failed to turn over all of Clinton's records to the panel.

The commission's lawyers will begin reviewing the material Monday and should know within a day and a half if additional documents should be released, said commission spokesman Al Felzenberg. The panel isn't making prejudgments until then, he said.

"There's a lot of paper flying around," Felzenberg said. "We'll know quickly if there are materials we should have or if they are duplicates."

Doh....!
I guarantee, this was all the prompting Bush needed to say, "Okay, here ya go!"
I think Bush just called Clinton's bluff.

Bush administration grants Sept. 11 panel access to Clinton documents.

And I bet they were wearing a sh*t-eating grin as they handed them over.

Yup...

The kicker in this article is:

>>Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore are scheduled to meet privately with the 10-member commission in the next few weeks to discuss whether anything could have been done to prevent the attacks.<<

"Meet PRIVATELY" !!??!?!?!?1!.... . . .

But then I remembered.....taking an oath or speaking "on the record" means nothing to these has-beens.

The onus is on the commission for seeking out the Former First Felon and his Vice Perpetrator.

I wonder if this is related to Hillary letting it slip that 'outside forces will decide the election'.

Scary...
