Wow -- Governor Kean really let loose on the Bush administration's obfuscation with respect to the 9-11 Commission:

Here is some choice language:
"Any document that has to do with this investigation cannot be beyond our reach," Mr. Kean said on Friday in his first explicit public warning to the White House that it risked a subpoena and a politically damaging courtroom showdown with the commission over access to the documents, including Oval Office intelligence reports that reached President Bush's desk in the weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks.
"I will not stand for it," Mr. Kean said in the interview in his offices here at Drew University, where he has been president since 1990.
"That means that we will use every tool at our command to get hold of every document."
Considering the fact that Governor Kean was handpicked by Bush to lead the Commission, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that he actually seems interested in doing his job. Perhaps it's because he's from a State with a large number of 9-11 victims' families?
Whatever the case is, I was curious to hear from New Jersey readers, who know Kean from his days as Governor, as to whether they think Governor Kean is going to go all out to produce a real 9-11 report, or whether he'll let it be a whitewash.
