The agency says the document isn't finished, but some think they're stalling to benefit Bush.

WASHINGTON — The ranking members of the House Intelligence Committee have asked the CIA to turn over an internal report on whether agency employees should be held accountable for intelligence failures leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks, congressional officials said Tuesday.

The CIA has not responded to the request, raising concerns among some Democrats in Congress that the report is being withheld to avoid embarrassment for the Bush administration in the final weeks before the presidential election.

The CIA has had some pretty rough handling from the Chimp admin and can't be that fond of him.

2. This could be fatal....

We need to hammer this issue and get that document released. This could be the bomb that blows up in Bush's face. The only reason this election is even close is the the Bush cronies have conned the American people with their doom and gloom terrorist theme, and that they are the only ones who can save us from it. The release of this document could blow this election open in favor of Kerry.
