The appearance of a government cover-up concerning what happened Sept. 11, 2001, would not increase public confidence in officials' ability to fix what went wrong. Even so, the Bush administration continues to block the release of last year's House-Senate 9/11 panel report. It raises the question: What's to hide?

When the report was completed in December, the investigators voted to quickly release as much material as possible.

No matter how hard I try, I can't even conjure up a scenario under which the GOP Wurlitzer would ever have allowed the Clinton administration to get away with this. It's disgraceful and smacks of a cover-up.
