When the congressional panel finished their preliminary investigation, Senators Graham and Shelby complained that the White House was refusing to declassify information pointing to state sponsorship of 9/11.

I think whether or not this commision can get access to this information will be a good test of whether or not they can do the job (I'm not holding my breath.)

I hope they also look into the allegations that the FBI was prevented from investigating the bin Laden family before 9/11. As far as I know, no one pursued that beyond Palast's first story.
