Editorial says Pres Bush wisely backed away from his threat to curtail classified military and intelligence briefings to Congress; says Bush's impatience with Congress risked short-circuiting constitutional powers of legislative branch; says administration's wish to tightly control flow of information about war on terrorism could ultimately undermine public support for Washington's antiterror campaign by depriving Americans of information they need to assess administration's actions and state of nation's security; objects to White House effort to get major television news organizations to abridge future videotaped statements of Osama bin Laden in absence of clear evidence that coded messages are contained in videotapes
