News From The Associated Press: " John Kerry on Sunday accused President Bush of 'stonewalling' separate inquiries into the events leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists attacks, as well as into the intelligence that suggested Saddam Hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.


Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, endorsed complaints by some members of a federal commission investigating the attacks that Bush was resisting their efforts to get documents and question witnesses.


'Why is this administration stonewalling and resisting the investigation into what happened and why we had the greatest security failure in the history of our country?' Kerry said at a hastily arranged news conference.


'The American people deserve an answer now,' Kerry said. 'The immediate instinct of the Republicans and this administration was to shut it down.'"
