After all the boloney over an extension for the 9/11 panel, this should come as no surprise. Via Josh at Talking Points Memo, Time Magazine has a piece about the Iraqi Intelligence Failure investigation.
A TIME examination of the panel members' backgrounds reveals a web of sticky connections to the Bush team and, in one case, an alleged lack of investigative curiosity [...]Questions of objectivity won't be resolved until the panel completes its task.

Could you imagine what the Republicans would have done if Clinton had stonewalled on Watergate or Lewinsky? They would have gone nuclear. This administration has shown a penchant for slight of hand manuevers and outright stalling tactics. Does anyone expect anything different out of them?
