Showdown Looms Over 9/11 Reports
By Thomas Frank
WASHINGTON BUREAU
May 31, 2003
Washington - The former Senate intelligence chairman set the stage Friday
for a confrontation with the White House over the withholding of sensitive
information about intelligence failures related to the Sept. 11 attacks.
Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.) vowed to seek a meeting with top administration
officials if intelligence agencies did not agree soon to make public vital
information unearthed in a congressional probe last year. Graham, a
presidential candidate, was co-chairman of the investigation.
The Senate and House intelligence committees, which led the investigation,
have been fighting the CIA and other agencies for months over a 900-page
final report on the probe. Late Thursday, the agencies gave the intelligence
committees' special investigative staff a copy of the staff report noting
areas that it would require to remain classified.
The agencies gave some ground in allowing the public release of information
that it had previously declared classified, said Eleanor Hill, a former
federal prosecutor who led the investigation.
"I sense we have made some progress here. There are clearly some areas that
were marked as classified before that are marked as unclassified," Hill
said, adding that there were still some disagreements.
Graham was more critical. In a statement, he said the intelligence agencies
are completely removing two "key sections" and that "more of the report
could be made available to the American people."
Graham did not specify what subjects were blocked. But he has previously
criticized the classification of disclosures concerning allegations that
foreign governments, notably Saudi Arabia, supported the 19 hijackers while
they lived in the United States for more than a year and planned the attack.
Intelligence agencies argue disclosing such information would compromise
national security, congressional officials said. In addition, the White
House withheld information from Congress about what it knew about terrorist
threats before Sept. 11, 2001.
At a Capitol Hill hearing last week, Graham said, "It is disturbingly
apparent that some governments are supporting - or at the very least,
providing sanctuary for - terrorist networks."
Graham called on a separate, independent commission investigating all
aspects of what allowed the Sept. 11 attacks to "vigorously pursue the links
between foreign governments and the 9/11 hijackers." He added, "Ignoring
facts simply because they make some people uncomfortable will prevent
Americans from learning the full truth about 9/11 and thereby deterring
future terrorist attacks."
Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), the senior Democrat on the House intelligence
committee, said there would be meetings shortly between congressional
investigators and intelligence officials to discuss the final report.
