The BBC reports that President George W. Bush has agreed to appear before members of the federal commission that are investigating the 9-11 attacks.
- "But he will only meet them in private and it is not clear how much of his testimony will eventually be published. This is a highly unusual move for an incumbent president and is a concession by the White House to the commission. Along with the publication of Mr Bush's service records in the Air National Guard, it also looks like a second effort by the administration to try to defuse an issue that has been dogging the president recently. For now, the White House is saying no to a public appearance. Former President Bill Clinton and his Vice-President, Al Gore, have also tentatively agreed to appear in private."
