21. Consider the two 9/11 reports.

The 2002 Joint Inquiry's classified 28 Pages, and the 9/11 Commission Report (bold emphasis added);

9/11 Commission controversy
January 30, 2008

(....) an extensive NBC News analysis of the 9/11 Commission’s Final Report (....).

The analysis shows that much of what was reported about the planning and execution of the terror attacks on New York and Washington was derived from the interrogations of high-ranking al-Qaida operatives.

The NBC News analysis shows that more than one quarter of all footnotes in the 9/11 Report refer to CIA interrogations of al-Qaida operatives who were subjected to the now-controversial interrogation techniques. In fact, information derived from the interrogations is central to the Report’s most critical chapters, those on the planning and execution of the attacks.

Compare what Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), said on September 9 2014, in advocating release of the 2002 9/11 Joint Inquiry's classified 28 Pages:

((Releasing the bUsh-redacted 28 pages)) "would definitely be instructive going forward, uh, for us to see the complicity, uh, behind the long-term planning, and uh, very deliberate steps taken to reach that day of 9/11. There was a great deal of planning beforehand, uh there were individuals that uh, I think, I think the 28 pages I have said are stunning in their clarity, in terms of how demonstrative they are in showing the planning beforehand, the financing, and the eventual attacks on that day. So I think it would uh, it would be instructive to members of congress to understand uh, the scope of this, the involvement of individuals, whether or not they were working in league with uh, with governments or not."

Incidentally:

46 Democratic Senators have called on the Bush administration to declassify the 28 pages of the Congressional 9/11 report that has been deleted from the public report.

Perhaps the 9/11 Commission needed to deliver False Propaganda.
