The only problem I have with this assessment is the timing when Berger first went to the archives, which was around October 2003, *before* the 9/11 Commission was seated I believe.

The high profile testimony didn't happen until last spring, but they were an entity at that point.

National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission)

excerpt:

created by congressional legislation and the signature of President George W. Bush in late 2002

And to go back to my previous point, that August 2001 PDB was leaked and the "Bush Knew" headline appeared in May 2002. Around the time the idea of this commission was starting to be bandied about and the dems were crying "cover-up" because the Bush administration didn't sign onto the idea immediately.
