House Republicans Say 9/11 Panel Playing Politics



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two leading congressional Republicans on Friday accused the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks of descending into partisan finger-pointing instead of examining problems that allowed the deadly hijackings.

"Partisan mudslinging, circus-atmosphere pyrotechnics, and gotcha-style questioning do not get us closer to the truth. They serve as dangerous distractions from the global war on terror," House of Representatives' Majority leader Tom DeLay said in a letter to the commission.



DeLay of Texas and Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, a member of the House Republican leadership, said the commission has lost credibility, with some members more focused on stating opinions than getting information.

They made their charges in separate letters after the Republican Bush administration came under tough questioning in hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday for what some commission members called a complete intelligence failure ahead of the attacks that killed about 3,000 people.
