Related: About this forumCampaign Mounts to Declassify 9/11 Report’s References to Alleged Saudi Involvement
By Samuel Oakford Vice.com August 7, 2014
Nearly 13 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the extent of Saudi involvement in the deaths of almost 3,000 people remains unclear — but according to members of Congress and the families of victims, information about this has been suppressed ever since the publication of a 2002 congressional investigation into the plot.
Prior to the release of the final report (PDF) of the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush administration classified a 28-page section in the name of national security.
Though speculations, accusations, and denials have swirled around these pages over the past decade, the call for their declassification has steadily grown since December 2013, when House Representatives Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-MA) introduced Resolution 428, a two-page document urging President Obama to release them to the public. Nine other representatives from both parties have co-sponsored the resolution.Family of 'the terrorist that wasn't' prepares for his return from US. Read more here.
Conspiracy theorists and fringe publications have seized on suspicion surrounding the redacted pages, but experts and sources close to the investigation have acknowledged that the material’s release would help address significant questions. In April, Jones and Lynch sent a letter to Obama reiterating their request. They are planning a September 11 press conference with relatives of victims to highlight the issue. Adding fuel to the campaign, various family members have recounted to the media how President Obama had promised them that he would release the material.

(915 posts)1. Debunker-wannabes could easily gain some credibility by vigorously supporting
and promoting the efforts of these Democratic congressmen, Senator Bob Graham and the 9/11 families at every opportunity.

... who financed the 19 terrorist hijackers. Are you expecting it to reveal that Saudis financed remote-control planes and controlled demolitions?
