This should surprise nobody and outrage everybody :

The panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States will get one hour to ask President Bush what he knew about events leading up to the suicide airline hijackings, the White House said on Friday.

“They are looking at an hour as you pointed out,” White House spokesman Scott McClellan said when asked by a reporter whether he could confirm reports that Bush was limiting the meeting to an hour.

Rather than sitting down with all 10 members of the so-called 9/11 commission, Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have only agreed to meet privately with its chairman, Thomas Kean, and the vice chairman, Lee Hamilton.

The panel would prefer that Bush meet with all of the members.

Created by the U.S. Congress, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States is charged with examining lapses in intelligence and national security in the months before the attacks. Strikes by hijacked airplanes on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon killed about 3,000 people.

The panel has expressed concern that it will not have enough.

An hour is all they get? They’ll barely be able to go through the timeline of what he did on 9/11 in an hour. How can anybody truly think that Bush is committed to keeping us safe if he’s willing to spend more time at the Daytona 500 then with the 9/11 Commission? He probably spends more time doing the “Find the Pictures” from his latest issue of Highlights than he will discussing the worst terrorist attack in our nation’s history. Yeah, this is pretty much standard fare for Bush, but it still pisses me off every time I read about it.
