Both President (sic) Bush and Vice-President (sic) Cheney took extraordinary steps to limit any investigation into the events of 9/11: (January 29, 2002) President Bush personally asked Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle Tuesday to limit the congressional investigation into the events of September 11, congressional and White House sources told CNN. The request was made at a private meeting with congressional leaders Tuesday morning. Sources said Bush initiated the conversation. He asked that only the House and Senate intelligence committees look into the potential breakdowns among federal agencies that could have allowed the terrorist attacks to occur, rather than a broader inquiry that some lawmakers have proposed, the sources said Tuesday's discussion followed a rare call to Daschle from Vice President Dick Cheney last Friday to make the same request. "The vice president
expressed the concern that a review of what happened on September 11
would take resources and personnel away from the effort in the war on
terrorism," Daschle told reporters. We think that an investigation into what happened on September 11 would take resources and personnel away from the effort in the War on Freedom. If there was any doubt of a cover-up of the events of 9/11, the last
vestiges were dispelled by the appointment (later resigned) of Henry
Kissinger to head the inquiry. The Kean Commission
