The independent commission reviewing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks met with President Bush’s national security adviser Saturday in an interview commissioners described as candid and productive.

Condoleezza Rice met with the commission privately for four hours at the White House.

“It was a very useful interview, and I personally found Dr. Rice to be candid,” said Richard Ben-Veniste, a Democratic commissioner.

A White House spokesman said Rice talked about the administration’s immediate response to the attacks, recommendations for the commission and efforts prior to the attacks to develop policies to counter terrorist threats from Al Qaeda.
