Here's the key quote:

GRAHAM: There were 28 pages in the final report, out of over 800 total, which were totally censored from--that were one to the end of that chapter. That was the chapter that largely dealt with the financing of 9/11, who paid for these very complex and in many instances expensive activities that were the predicate for 9/11. I was stunned that the intelligence community would feel that it was a threat to national security for the American people to know who had made 9/11 financially possible. And I am sad to report that today, some 12 years after we submitted our report, that those 28 pages continue to be withheld from the public.

JAY: Now, it's fairly clear from your book what's in the 28 pages, I mean, in general terms. The L.A. Times did a report on those 28 pages. A journalist for The L.A. Times spoke with someone who'd actually seen the 28 pages--didn't reveal the name. But apparently it's the actual names of the people in the Saudi government and Saudi royal family that are in on financing 9/11 conspirators. And your book makes it pretty clear that that's what it's about.

First of all, who ordered the redaction, that you weren't allowed to say this?

GRAHAM: First, I'm going to have to withhold my comment on what you have just said. I am under the strictures of classification. I have--although it was written in 2002, I still have a reasonably good remembrance of what was in those 28 pages, but I'm frustrated because I can't talk about it.

I am aware of the policy of this forum, but I hope limited discussion of the 9/11-Saudi connection by a democratic senator with first-hand knowledge cannot and should not be interpreted as creative speculation.

1. I think this post belongs right where it is.

And I will add that I have no doubt that certain very rich Saudis, some of whom Bush was photographed kissing, were entangled.

I think Osama was simply the "activist" wing of the Bin Laden family. Remember that Osama's mother came to one of his many weddings after 9-11.

2. And the even was wished for in the PNAC papers, which were signed by some folks who

KISS the Saudi royal family.

5. "Intelligence Matters: The CIA, the FBI, Saudi Arabia, and the Failure of America's War on Terror"

Besides this book, he's also taken to fiction to get his point across, it seems. Might be worth looking into as well.

6. Saudis involved in 911?

7. K&R

Graham can't talk about it.

Edmonds can't talk about it.

I wish someone would open up and tell us what happened on 9/11.

8. Maybe Snowden's got something

12. I wonder about that...

One can only hope.

9. Be patient!

This stuff presumably gets sealed for 75 years, like the JFK assassination material. Give it 63 more years and then I'm sure you can access all the secret info you want!

14. The 9/11 Conspiracy: Did Bush/Cheney Create a Culture of Not Wanting to Know? - Sen. Graham Pt.4

On RAI with Paul Jay, Senator Bob Graham says there was a pervasive pattern in police and intelligence agencies and "you don't have everybody moving in the same direction without there being a head coach somewhere who was giving them instructions as to where he wants them to move"

This part starts about the pdb of august 2001 - I did not know that in a wider circulated memo, that information was taken out.
