It's not just members of Congress that want the classified portion of the 9/11 report made available to the public. The Saudi Government does too. They issued a formal request to Bush to declassify the report. Bush has refused the request.

In an interview this morning on "Good Morning America," [Sen. Bob] Graham said he believed the section of the report was being withheld "for political reasons — a key political reason being not to disturb the relationship between the United States and some foreign countries."

The Saudis have made it clear that they intend to fight back against any assertion that they were involved in the attacks. Some Saudi officials have said the organization behind them, Al Qaeda, is as hostile to Saudi Arabia's rulers as it is to the United States, or nearly so.

After the Congressional report was released last week, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, called the accusation that his country had helped pay the terrorists "outrageous" and added, "The idea that the Saudi government funded, organized or even knew about Sept. 11 is malicious and blatantly false."

Bush's reasons: Ongoing investigations and national security. His answer to everything these days.
