Bush, last week:
Larry King: You first were opposed to the 9/11 Commission and then changed. Why?
George Bush: Not really.
King: You weren’t opposed?
Bush: Well, I just wanted to make sure that it was done the right way.
Bush, in May 2002:
President Bush said Thursday he opposes establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before Sept. 11, saying the matter should be dealt with by congressional intelligence committees.
[…]
Bush said the investigation of possible intelligence lapses should be confined to Congress despite a call by Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and others for a special commission.
Bush said the members of the Senate and House intelligence committees “understand the obligations of upholding our secrets and our sources and methods of collecting intelligence. And therefore I think that’s the best place for Congress to take a good look at the events leading up to Sept. 11.”
