60 Minutes to Report on 28 Pages Said to Link 9/11 and Saudi Arabia's Government:
[/size]

The drive to declassify 28 pages from a congressional intelligence inquiry that detail specific indications of foreign government support of the 9/11 hijackers is about to be put under a powerful spotlight, as 60 Minutes will air a segment on the topic this Sunday, April 10 at 7 pm ET/PT.

According to the CBS News preview of the story, Steve Kroft interviewed former senator Bob Graham, former congressman and CIA director Porter Goss, former 9/11 Commission members Bob Kerrey and John Lehman, lawyers representing 9/11 family members suing Saudi Arabia and former congressman Tim Roemer, who served on both the inquiry that produced the 28 pages and the 9/11 Commission that followed that inquiry.

Report to Air on Eve of Obama Visit to Saudi Arabia

The high-profile 60 Minutes segment—which is positioned for high viewership as it follows coverage of the Masters Tournament—comes at a particularly sensitive time for the White House, as the president will visit Saudi Arabia on April 21. 9/11 family members say that, in 2009 and 2011, Obama assured them he would declassify the 28 pages, yet that promise has gone unfulfilled.

Graham, who co-chaired the inquiry that wrote the 28 pages, has said, “The 28 pages primarily relate to who financed 9/11 and they point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financier.” He has also said that, by shielding Saudi Arabia from scrutiny of its sponsorship of Sunni extremism, the continued classification has encouraged their continued sponsorship and paved the way for the rise of ISIS.

Congressman Thomas Massie described the experience of reading the pages as “shocking” and said, “I had to stop every couple pages and…try to rearrange my understanding of history. It challenges you to rethink everything.”

Congressmen Walter Jones, Stephen Lynch and Massie are leading an effort in the U.S. House of Representatives to declassify the 28 pages: Their House Resolution 14, which urges the president to declassify the material, has 41 cosponsors. A similar measure, Senate Bill 1471, was introduced by Senators Rand Paul and Ron Wyden and cosponsored by Kirsten Gillibrand.

Review of 28 Pages Nears Its Third Year

In response to heightened media attention to the 28 pages in September 2014, the White House said the president, earlier that summer, tasked Director of National Intelligence James Clapper with conducting an intelligence community review of the 28 pages for potential declassification.

Inexplicably, and with essentially no follow-up by national media to date, that review of just 28 pages has already taken far longer than the entire, unprecedented congressional inquiry that produced them. As we reported here last summer, in just six months the 2002 inquiry:

• Reviewed nearly a half million pages of documents from intelligence agencies and other sources
• Conducted roughly 300 interviews
• Participated in briefings and panel discussions involving about 600 people from the intelligence community, other government departments, state and local entities, foreign government representatives and other individuals
• Held 13 closed-door sessions and nine public hearings
• Dueled with intelligence agencies and the White House over many aspects of the inquiry’s undertaking, including requests for information and the format of the final report
• Wrote, edited and revised an 838-page report on the inquiry’s findings

A separate evaluation, under a process called Mandatory Declassification Review, was initiated in 2014 by an attorney representing investigative journalists Dan Christensen, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan. Like the review requested by the president, it is still pending as the Obama administration nears its final months.

Times up. Just a burn notice to pave the way for the next fraud that's currently taking place.

 

[phill4paul]

If these 28 pages reveal that some Sauds' financed 9/11 wouldn't that indicate a conspiracy on the part of some Sauds'? And if individuals within our government classified these documents to cover up the Sauds' involvement wouldn't that be considered an "inside job?"
Hopefully the White House wash job will see the light of day. In another 30-40 yrs. after the primary actors are long retired.

Oh look, a bone. I wonder where they'll throw it.

As much as most people here hate Michael Moore, he was calling all of this back in 2004 in Fahrenheit 9/11... Saudi involvement in 9/11, Saudi conspiracies w/ the Bush family, etc..

Sooooooo....when are we going to stop pretending that the idea of a greater conspiracy regarding 9/11, with its tentacles reaching even into the U.S. government, is no theory? We do we close down hot topics and mainstream 9/11 truth? If nothing else, Donald Trump's candidacy proves that 9/11 truth doesn't have to hurt.

If the Saudis were involved (and it sounds like they might have been) that does not mean that the US government was somehow behind it. When Ron Paul called for a new investigation he said the government was covering up ineptness, not any involvement.

Paul: Well, I think the more we know about what we went on is good. But I don't think there's any evidence of [an inside job] and I don't believe that. The blame goes to bad policy. And a lot of times bad policy is well-motivated.

http://libertyfight.com/ronpaul911.html

Steve Gill: Do you think the American government, the U.S. government, had anything to do with bringing those towers down either directly or allowing it to happen?

Ron Paul: I think indirectly out of ineptness rather than participating in it, planning it or allowing it to happen. I see it's ineptness - that's why I think the investigations are always coverup of the inefficiency of government. ....that's why I don't trust the investigations.

Q. Many of your supporters call themselves '9/11 Truthers'. They believe that the U.S. government was in some way complicit with the 9/11 attacks or covered it up. Are you tonight prepared to either embrace that rhetoric or ask those supporters to abandon it, or divorce themselves from your candidacy?

Paul: Well, I can't tell people what to do, but I've abandoned those viewpoints, I don't believe that, and that's all.. that's the only thing that is important, and so I don't endorse anything they say, but I would like to take an opportunity to talk about the issue that we've been debating here for the last 20 minutes.

Q. Sir, would you ask them to cease that rhetoric tonight on your behalf?

Paul: Well it doesn't do me any good, so if they care about me they should, but The only thing I have control over is what I believe and what i say. I can't tell them what to do, so I don't endorse what they say and I don't believe that, so please, could I participate in the current debate rather than talking this out?

A. please do. Please do. Please do. Please do.

Of course Ron Paul isn't running for any offices anymore.

Ron Paul is on video saying the collapse of WTC 7 was suspicious. Ron Paul also said that the reason he didn't come out with the truth about 9/11 is that it was too controversial for him. And note I didn't even mention Ron Paul in my post. Straw man argument on your part. Trump, for all his flaws, has taken the 9/11 truther ball and run with it both pointing out that Bush had the intel needed to stop 9/11 and Bush allowed the Bin Laden family to leave the U.S. when everyone else was grounded. There is such a think called "accessory after the fact" you know. And covering up who funded 9/11 and misdirecting American anger from Saudi Arabia to Iraq is more accessory after the fact and that goes beyond ineptness.

Yup.

 

[juleswin]

What them white wash whatever incriminating information from those documents to something that is just slightly criminal but not in a malicious way. Its probably someone unknowingly gave the "hijackers" passports or mistakenly put the chargers into the building structure forgot to alert authorities about the rogue team of suicide bombers.

http://libertyfight.com/ronpaul911.html

It doesn't have to be that the U.S. was behind it. Just that they conspired to cover up. In jurisprudence that is called accessory after the fact. It in, and of, itself is a criminal act. Members of our government are guilty of a criminal act. Period.
There was a conspiracy over 9/11. Period.
Now, the answer that many of us have been seeking is how much of an involvement did our government and officials of our government become involved.
That's all it has ever been about to me.
Who, what, when, where and why?

If the government has nothing to hide it should be no problem declassifying these 28 pages--right?

Everyone should support Walter Jones (R - NC).

I have found all the events surrounding 9-11 suspicious since that very day. I watched those 3 (THREE) buildings fall flat to the ground and knew something was happening not as described. I know that what happened will never be revealed and for that reason I move on. I know we will never know the truth and for me it's enough to know that we will never know BECAUSE "they" will never allow the truth to come out.

For the most part I don't even discuss it with people because most of them have become so brainwashed that reason is out of their reach. I accept that and try to reach them with the message of liberty as that's something most people can understand at least in it's most rudimentary state. If they take that baby step towards admitting that liberty is what everyone should have then one can slowly bring them around to the TRUTH (goonerment is the opposite of liberty)...

 

[otherone]

For the most part I don't even discuss it with people because most of them have become so brainwashed that reason is out of their reach.

The worst part is that, even if 911 is revealed as a criminal conspiracy involving the government, people would believe that the problem would be solved if the players are changed in Washington.

House Resolution 14

House Resolution 14 urges the president to declassify the 28-page finding on foreign government support of the 9/11 hijackers. The equivalent of H.Res.428 in the previous Congress, H.Res.14 was introduced by Congressmen Walter Jones (R, NC-3), Stephen Lynch (D, MA-8) and Thomas Massie (R, KY-4). We’ve posted the full text of H.Res.14 at the bottom of the page.

This is Dr. Paul's "truth"...

Former Rep. Ron Paul said he believes the U.S. government had prior knowledge of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and has kept this information hidden in a classified section of the 9/11 Commission report.

Paul, who made the comments during a radio interview last Friday, also argued that the crimes of Osama bin Laden were “minor” compared to the harm the U.S. government has caused since the 2001 attacks.

“I believe that if we ever get the full truth [about 9/11], we’ll find out that our government had it in the records exactly what the plans were, or at least close to it,” said Paul, during the interview with Money and Markets host Charles Goyette. “You already mentioned that [the U.S. government] had been warned that something was going to happen.”

However, Paul said he doubted that Bush administration officials personally helped plot the attacks.

“Does that prove the fact that our president and others actually sat down and laid the plans and did this? I don’t think it does,” he said.
