In public. Under oath. Before a full investigating commission.
Ok, let him stonewall - now. All the more reason to kick him and the Repukes out in November.
He can run, but he cannot hide. He has gotten away with everything: AWOL, Harken insider trading, Texas Stadium fleecing of the taxpayers, Funeral Gate perjury, Iraq lies to get us into war, outing Plame, etc., etc., etc....
He can run but he cannot hide from the 9/11 victims.
This is NOT going to be another Warren Commission.
We can handle the truth. He can't.

This ad does not mark the first time, nor the last, that the president or some other politician uses the power of that day's imagery to grasp at power for himself. Indeed, the president is to dig the first shovel at the ground-breaking for a 9/11 memorial at Eisenhower Park Thursday - with a fund-raiser immediately following at the restaurant in the very same park.
My blood does not rise at use of pictures or the politicization of 9/11, because the great tragedy long ago became a defining political event. Instead I boil over at the crass contradiction between a president who seeks political gain from the terrorist attack while he simultaneously blocks public scrutiny of his own actions involving that terrible day.
And so I have a deal for this president. I won't ask him to pull the campaign ad off the air if he will pull down the iron wall he's erected between his White House and those charged with pursuing the truth.
The latest barrier is the president's refusal to be interviewed by the commission investigating 9/11 except under rules he himself writes. He refuses to talk to the full commission, only to the two co-chairmen. He says he'll appear for only an hour and only in private. Vice President Dick Cheney wants the same strictures.
