New Calls for Redacted 28 Pages of "9/11 Report" to be Released & VF's "The Kingdom & Towers" Review
The Missing Pages of the 9/11 ReportEleanor Clift - DailyBeast

<snip>
A story that might otherwise have slipped away in a morass of conspiracy theories gained new life Wednesday when former Sen. Bob Graham headlined a press conference on Capitol Hill to press for the release of 28 pages redacted from a Senate report on the 9/11 attacks. And according to Graham, the lead author of the report, the pages point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as the principal financier of the 9/11 hijackers.
This may seem stale to some but its as current as the headlines we see today, Graham said, referring to the terrorist attack on a satirical newspaper in Paris. The pages are being kept under wraps out of concern their disclosure would hurt U.S. national security. But as chairman of the Senate Select Committee that issued the report in 2002, Graham argues the opposite is true, and that the real threat to national security is non-disclosure.

The Kingdom and the Towers
Was there a foreign government behind the 9/11 attacks? A decade later, Americans still havent been given the whole story, while a key 28-page section of Congresss Joint Inquiry report remains censored. Gathering years of leaks and leads, in an adaptation from their new book, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan examine the connections between Saudi Arabia and the hijackers (15 of whom were Saudi), the Bush White Houses decision to ignore or bury evidence, and the frustration of lead investigatorsincluding 9/11-commission staffers, counterterrorism officials, and senators on both sides of the aisle.

I have long believed the U.S. government was at least complicit in the 9/11 attacks...

Most Americans won't even care after 5 minutes, or, like torture, approve of the Saudis' role, because, in so many ways, they're just like us.
The truth should be out, regardless of the outcome.

I'm not suggesting they were instrumental in planning and executing the attacks but that they gave a free pass to the Saudis who funded them.
This all because the Bush dynasty was tightly intertwined with the Saudis. Cheney saw opportunities for his former company Halliburton to make billions off U.S. taxpayers. It was all a scam at the top.
