9/11 Panel to Seek Testimony From Bush:

"The federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks will soon ask President Bush (news - web sites), former President Clinton (news - web sites) and their vice presidents to testify in public about possible warnings they might have received from U.S. intelligence sources before the attacks.

'We need them to testify,' former New Jersey Gov. Thomas H. Kean, the bipartisan commission's chairman, told The Record of Bergen County in a story published Thursday. He said the panel would issue formal invitations within the next few weeks, although he conceded that all four men would probably decline to be questioned at a public forum. "
