"We know the folks in the Bush administration can keep a secret. The
trouble is, they don't always know when not to keep one......"

"Asked about the Halliburton honey pot, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer
denied any collusion between the executive branch and those who give out
contracts for work in Iraq.
For Waxman, the issue is the secrecy...."

Graham alleges a coverup of pre-9/11 failure
By TYLER BRIDGES

Sen. Bob Graham accused the Bush administration Sunday of covering up
its failure to possibly prevent the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks by
refusing to release the findings of a Graham-led congressional
investigation last year.
Graham said on CBS' Face the Nation program that the administration is
not withholding the information to protect national security.
''In fact, a great deal of the information which they want to keep
classified has already been released, such as in testimony by CIA and
FBI officials in public hearings,'' Graham said.
``I think what they are shooting at is to cover up the failures that
occurred before September the 11th.''
Releasing the report, he said, could help law enforcement prevent
another attack.
In an interview later, Graham said, ``I think what the administration
is concerned about is that we have connected the dots. They don't want
the American people in one document to know and be able to assess and
hold accountable the people who were involved in the lead up to
September 11.''
