Закрытость вчерашних слушаний была

Закрытость вчерашних слушаний была беспрецедентной. Как пояснили представители Белого дома, это объяснялось тем, что в ходе беседы членов комиссии с президентом и вице-президентом затрагивались вопросы, составляющие государственную тайну. До слушаний не был известен точный список вопросов, тем более что каждый член комиссии волен был задавать любые вопросы по своему усмотрению. А после слушаний все комментарии для прессы свелись к довольно расплывчатым формулировкам самого общего характера.
Однако исходя из содержания прошлых, открытых заседаний комиссии, журналистам удалось более или менее смоделировать ход слушаний. Как заявил член комиссии, бывший сенатор-демократ Боб Керрей, задавались, по сути, те же вопросы, что и бывшим президенту и вице-президен­ту Биллу Клинтону и Элу Гору (они, кстати, тоже выступали на закрытом заседании комиссии, но их показания записывались), за одним исключением — господам Бушу и Чейни был задан дополнительный вопрос: что вы делали 11 сентября 2001 года?

Closed yesterday's hearings was unprecedented. As explained by the representatives of the White House, this was due to the fact that the members of the Commission during the meeting with the President and Vice President dealt with State secrets. Before the hearing was not known the exact list of questions, all the more so because each Member was free to ask any questions on your own. And after hearing all the comments for the press, amounted to a rather vague wording of very general nature.However, on the basis of past public meetings of the Commission, journalists managed to more or less simulate the progress of the hearing. As stated by the Member of the Commission, former Democratic Senator Bob Currey, asked essentially the same questions as the former President and Vice President TU Bill Clinton and Elu Mount (they, incidentally, also spoke at a closed meeting of the Commission, but their statements were recorded), with one exception — Messrs. Bush and Cheney an additional question was asked: what were you doing September 11, 2001?

As the member of the commission, former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey, asked essentially the same questions as the former president and vice-president Bill Clinton and Al Gore (which, incidentally, also performed at the closing session of the commission, but their statements were recorded ), with one exception - Messrs Bush and Cheney was asked an additional question: what did you do 11 September 2001?
