When an account of the suppressed report surfaced on the Los Angeles Times op-ed page last week, NEWSWEEK has learned, Goss's top aide ordered the agency's Office of Security to conduct a leak investigation. "Everybody feels it will be better off if this hits the fan after the election," said one agency official. The 9/11 Commission was refused access to the report, Philip Zelikow, the commission's executive director, told NEWSWEEK. But the panel's staff was allowed to review the inspector general's investigative files. The inspector general's report -- which, sources say, is more pointed than the 9/11 panel's report -- is not the only critical intelligence report that won't be seen by the public until after Election Day.

Two Senate intelligence committee investigations -- into whether the White House misused prewar intelligence about Iraq and whether a special Pentagon unit manipulated intel about Iraq-Al Qaeda links -- won't be finished until the end of the year at the earliest, say committee sources.

Not telling the truth is the same as telling a lie, No?
