Bill Clinton White House suppressed evidence of Iran’s terrorism
The Washington Times ^ | October 5, 2015 | John Solomon

Bill Clinton’s administration gathered enough evidence to send a top-secret communique accusing Iran of facilitating the deadly 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist bombing, but suppressed that information from the American public and some elements of U.S. intelligence for fear it would lead to an outcry for reprisal, according to documents and interviews.

Before Mr. Clinton left office, the intelligence pointing toward Iran’s involvement in the terror attack in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 U.S. servicemen and wounded hundreds was deemed both extensive and “credible,” memos show.

Isn't this exactly what some thought the Clinton Administration might have done in at least a couple other instances? Appears they did so in this case.

I want to still see the hidden pages of the 9/11 report. Could it also point to Iran?

Of course, they will all be held accountable for their crimes, right? S/

You see folks.

We’re not mature enough to handle things like this.

More likely, Clinton saw this as being potentially harmful to him.

Clintons....they lie even when they don’t have to so they can stay in practice.

I want to see the captured Iraqi documents as well. Dems screamed to high heaven to have them taken out of the public view. I have to wonder which Democrats the party was worried about being exposed for their complicity with Saddam.

I’m pretty sure they ‘suppressed evidence’ in every case.

Surprised it took so long but God will have his way, now they are visibly turning on each other...

Both sides, across the board...

The Pyramid is shaking, the plans are caving in on each other and heads will roll to protect the top...

This is JV compared to what is coming

Watch and See...

Either that or they lie every time because they always have something to hide.

oh yes, the coming downfall of the ‘government’. So bad that the public will demand new government.

Yuri Bezmenov described and predicted this all some 35 years ago.

Classic Cui Buno question, who benefited with those deleted items?

We will never see them. You can’t UNCLASSIFY what isn’t there. Burgler stole them out of the National Archives.

I just want to know ALL the players. Be they Iraq, Iran, Saudis, Communists, IRA (but I repeat myself). We deserve to know.

I was thinking TWA 800 and OKC. Who knows anymore? Nothing would surprise me. Quit reading Clancy when reality became stranger.
