somebody 9/11 commission to quiz Bush, Cheney

A Joint, private testimony at the White House

The commission had originally sought separate testimony from the president and vice president. But the White House later insisted they would appear together, prompting critics to suggest that the White House wanted to make sure they kept their story straight.
