MAX CLELAND: The President has said that only a minority of the Commission can see a minority of the documents, and then they have to clear what they're going to say to the rest of the Commission with the White House.

The President has said that only a minority of the [911] Commission can see a minority of the documents, and then they have to clear what they're going to say to the rest of the Commission with the White House.  --Max Cleland

The Commission suspected that the Pentagon was deceiving them.  

6 out of the 10 commissioners, Kean and Hamilton, as well as Bob Carey Tim Roemer John Lehman and Max Cleland have all expressed concern that the commission was misled, stymied, hampered by conflicts of interest, and ultimately forced to participate in a politically motivated cover-up.  In their book, Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 911 Commission, and in press conferences and interviews at the time the report was released, Kean and Hamilton famously remarked that "the commission had been set up to fail."

Max Cleland, 1942-2021, was originally appointed to serve on the 9/11 commission but resigned shortly after having been appointed to the board of directors of the export-import Bank of the United States before his resignation he said that the Bush Administration was stonewalling and blocking the committee's access to key documents and Witnesses.
