Thomas Massie cosponsors resolution to declassify 28 pages of 9/11 report

[ClydeCoulter]

I saw this some time back, can't remember the date.

Is that legislation coming up for a vote, or being pushed to come up for a vote? Anyone know the Jones/Lynch bill (hr number, etc)?

The RepThomasMassie youtube channel just posted the video Friday (7/11/2014).

Here's the Ben Swann article on it from March 12, 2014: http://benswann.com/rep-massie-on-9...-but-wont-hurt-national-security-if-released/

And here's a "The Hill" article from Dec 2013 about H.Res 428. (warning: popupville there at TheHill. Does anyone really believe that acting like a patch of flies in peoples face is making friends?)

Another push coming up for the release of those 28 pages?

Late last year, I published a post titled: Two Congressmen Push for Release of 28-Page Document Showing Saudi Involvement in 9/11. Here’s an excerpt from the piece:

Since terrorists attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, victims’ loved ones, injured survivors, and members of the media have all tried without much success to discover the true nature of the relationship between the 19 hijackers – 15 of them Saudi nationals – and the Saudi Arabian government. Many news organizations reported that some of the terrorists were linked to the Saudi royals and that they even may have received financial support from them as well as from several mysterious, moneyed Saudi men living in San Diego.

Saudi Arabia has repeatedly denied any connection, and neither President George W. Bush nor President Obama has been forthcoming on this issue.

But earlier this year, Reps. Walter B. Jones, R-N.C., and Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., were given access to the 28 redacted pages of the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry (JICI) of 9/11 issued in late 2002, which have been thought to hold some answers about the Saudi connection to the attack.

“I was absolutely shocked by what I read,” Jones told International Business Times. “What was so surprising was that those whom we thought we could trust really disappointed me. I cannot go into it any more than that. I had to sign an oath that what I read had to remain confidential. But the information I read disappointed me greatly.”

The public may soon also get to see these secret documents. Last week, Jones and Lynch introduced a resolution that urges President Obama to declassify the 28 pages, which were originally classified by President George W. Bush. It has never been fully explained why the pages were blacked out, but President Bush stated in 2003 that releasing the pages would violate national security.

Naturally, the so-called “most transparent Administration in history” hasn’t declassified anything, but that didn’t stop Rep. Thomas Massie, R-KY from reading them. What he saw was so incredibly disturbing he called a press conference to talk about it. This is what he had to say:

That’s three members of Congress that I know of who have come out shell-shocked upon reading this document. So why can’t the American public see it?

So why can’t the American public see it?

I wonder....

should we be discussing this?....

everyone gets pissed if you do.

Making the government disclose what the 9/11 Commissioners actually wanted us to know to begin with? I don't think that position is very controversial here or most anywhere, aside from the establishmentarian power centers where they use it to try and ridicule any American with a mind to sovereignty. I say ridicule them for not wanting to know what our own commission found out.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

For all we know at this point, King Saud himself funded the attack, and apparently these classified pages reveal whodunit. Wasn't that the whole point of the 9/11 Commission to begin with? And then to classify the most important results from the public? America deserves to know. If it was Iran or Syria, they would have declassified it long ago to help make their case. The fact that it's still classified a dozen years later after a full-on war where disclosure can no longer reveal active sources to me demonstrates an unwillingness to admit a mistake. Those who cover up mistakes are destined to repeat them. I do not want to repeat the mistakes that led to 9/11. Declassify the 28 pages Mr President, tear down this wall!

 

[AuH20]

It is widely believed that in the late 70s Henry Kissinger arranged a gentleman's agreement with the Saudis specifying that the Saudi sovereign wealth funds would invest in our treasuries and we would in turn purchase their oil. It would make perfect sense why the Bush admin would withhold any incriminating evidence that would threaten this very lucrative relationship.

Wikileaks or Snowden should release this.

Maybe now is the time when this can get done?

why now?

 

[Brian4Liberty]

why now?

Maybe the Democrats will want to release it before they lose their majority in Senate. They did it with that CIA report.
