Bush To Bar Deadline Extension to 9/11 Commission

In other Washington news, the White House and House Speaker Denis
Hastert are expected to reject any call from the independent 9/11
commission to extend the panel's deadline to complete the
investigation.

Meanwhile family members of 9/11 victims are protesting the recent
revelation of close ties between the executive director of the
independent 9/11 commission, Philip Zelikow, and the Bush
administration.

Zelikow served as an advisor to National Security Advisor Condolezza
Rice after Bush took office, he once co-authored a book with Rice and
he served on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board in
October 2001. He was close enough to the White House that he was
interviewed by the commission as part of the investigation.

Meanwhile the commission has also interviewed one of its own
commissioners, Jamie Gorelick. She served as a deputy attorney general
in Janet Reno's Justice Department during the Clinton administration.
According to UPI, Gorelick and Zelikow are the two officials to whom
the White House has granted the greatest access to the most secret and
sensitive national security documents, the presidential daily
briefings.

Kristen Breitweiser, whose husband died in the World Trade Center
responded to the news by saying "This is beginning to look like a
whitewash."
