Sept. 11 Commission closes first chapters

By SHAUN WATERMAN, UPI Homeland and National Security Editor

WASHINGTON, June 30 (UPI) -- The commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks has sent drafts of the initial chapters of its final report to administration officials for a pre-publication review that is "somewhat murky, legally," United Press International has learned.

Following a process established in February by White House Chief of Staff Andy Card that commission and administration officials say has already been successfully employed in clearing the commission staff statements, the drafts of the first two chapters were sent to the Justice Department June 21, senior administration officials told UPI.

In a letter to Card in February, Commission Chairman Thomas H. Kean and Vice Chairman Lee H. Hamilton called the setting up of the process "a positive step" and said that the Justice Department official designated by Card as the administration's point man for the process, Dan Levine, had "performed superbly" so far.

UPI spoke at length about the pre-publication review process to three senior administration officials who requested anonymity and spoke on the condition that the White House press office clear any direct quotes attributed to them.

1. Commission said truth will get out one way or the other!
I heard both the Chairman and Vice Chairman say that if the WH tries to squelch things that shouldn't be "secret for security reasons" that the truth would got out one way or another!

I think the Wh will try to black out a lot of stuff, but I really believe most of the Commissioners won't let it stay hidden.
