CIA director says secret 9/11 report pages full of hearsay, inaccurate info

[bemildred]

CIA Director John Brennan said Sunday that 28 classified pages of a bipartisan commission's report on the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks contains "uncorroborated, unvetted information" that some could seize upon to claim Saudi Arabian involvement in the attacks.

Brennan, speaking on NBC's "Meet The Press," said such claims would be "very, very inaccurate."

The Obama administration may soon release at least part of the secret chapter, which some believe shows a Saudi connection to the Al Qaeda attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa.

A groundswell to declassify the documents began last month, when former Florida Sen. Bob Graham told CBS' "60 Minutes" he believed the 19 hijackers "substantially" received support from officials in Saudi Arabia's government and prominent members of society.

1. Wow. Some early butt-covering there.

"Smear the messenger" taken to a new level - smear the report.
Not going to work, methinks!

[bemildred]

2. Desperate butt-covering is the way I read it. nt

[Democat]

3. Check this guy's bank accounts

Especially the offshore ones.

[malaise]

4. ROFL

Yeh right - like most of the shit put out by his folks

[NV Whino]

5. Right. And that's why they're so highly classified.

Christ, we all (except W maybe) know the Saudis were involved without the report.

[Octafish]

6. So it was MIHOP.

And anyone who says otherwise Cass Sunstein and Phil Zelikow thank you.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

17. It's been MIHOP right from the "a new Pearl Harbor" quote and the stealing of the presidency...

...from President Gore.

[Fast Walker 52]

24. Indeed, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice do too

[Hissyspit]

7. Of course he says that.

[RussBLib]

8. muddy the waters

sow confusion

that's the CIA

[floriduck]

9. And that's why the Saudis were ready to sell their US assets-over inaccurate info. Right! nm

[mountain grammy]

10. Does Brennan know the hijackers were Saudis?

Just saying. Someone should tell him before he digs himself deeper into this hole.

[Festivito]

11. Look smoke! Er, ah, can't see clearly. Never mind those guys behind the curtain!!!!1!!11!!! eom

[randr]

12. The old "shoot the messenger" routine

Unfortunately it still works, especially if you are the MSM messenger.

[ieoeja]

13. Saudi Arabia is well known for financially supporting their citizens abroad.

When some of them turn terrorist, you can not really conclude much by the simple fact that they received financial support from Saudi Arabia. More detail would be needed to make the jump to, "SA supported the terrorist attack".

[jwirr]

14. That is okay John, let us see them and we will find the truth

and do the vetting for information. We seem to be much better at it than you guys were.

[Fast Walker 52]

15. professional liar say what now?

[I hate liars]

19. What now?

[KansDem]

16. Simple: Release the redacted pages and we'll see...

Couldn't be more "full of hearsay, inaccurate info" than "Saddam did it!" and "We got the intel wrong" from the Bushistas.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

20. And the irony of him characterizing a 28-page section of the 9/11 Commission Report that way is...

...delicious.

Drink it up!

[MisterP]

18. sooooo they'd rather have the rumors flying than put them to rest? that's BAD

[ChisolmTrailDem]

21. Every reasonable question every reasonable "truther" ever had has been legitimized by...

...28pagegate.

[bobthedrummer]

22. MK ULTRA v.2016, yep-I get that too, bemildred. K&R.

23. The Men Who Stare at Goats

A reporter in Iraq might just have the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady, a guy who claims to be a former member of the U.S. Army's New Earth Army, a unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions.
