Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Congress set up a joint committee to investigate. After nearly 6 months, the joint committee released its report - but the Bush administration redacted 28 pages of the report, citing the damage the information could do to our relationships with foreign governments.
Ever since then, families of the victims of 9/11, lawmakers, and government watchdog groups have all been agitating for the declassification of those 28 pages. First the Bush administration, and then the Obama administration have refued all requests to reveal what's in those 28 pages. President Obama told the families during a 9/11 memorial service that he would release the information, only to reneg on that promise.
Why the secrecy? It's believed that the 28 pages detail the assistance by Saudi nationals given to the terrorists. Speculation has centered on some members of the House of Saud who may have given cash and other aid to the terrorists, and a faction in Saudi intelligence that may have also helped the attackers.
Now, investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson will launch her new TV show by delving into the secrets to be found in the missing 28 pages.

IBTL - this is about to suffer the same fate as the Sheryl Atkinson video piece. Admin Mod doesn’t want any truther BS today...
The “Protect” the Incompetent GOP-e(Bushes and the like) and the ENTIRE Federal Incompetent Government.
They may be classified, but are publicly available via hacks of Hillary’s email server. ;-)
My thoughts are that it is a cover up about how the FBI was precluded from interacting with the CIA on domestic defense from terrorism. It was done to protect Jaime Gorelic (who was on the commission, too BTW) and who also later became a corporate officer at Fannie Mae (FNMA). She as second in command at DoJ was the primary perpetrator of instantiating the intelligence wall.
SA is a birther? When did that happen?
If everything were made public, two things would happen:
1) As you note, the duplicitous Saudi actions would be exposed
2) Some of the criminally feckless Clinton cronies would also be exposed. The one I know about is Jamie Gorelick, who erected the Chinese Wall between the CIA and the FBI on intelligence sharing, so that counter-terrorism intelligence was fatally weakened.
Whatever The Oligarchy wants, it gets. Political leaders from both parties have been bending over for Saudi Arabia for decades.
A nice grenade for Trump to lob. I hope he has a list of these.
Yeah, my first thoughts, too. I suppose it has something (a lot??) to do with petro dollars..
Because our Saudi Paymasters want it that way.
For one thing, it deals most likely with the functionality of the fedgov flying out of the US, during the complete shutdown of all air traffic on 9-11.... the flying out, on US planes of the Bin-Laden Saudi family members.
That kind of stuff.
Maybe methods and sources then that are still in place.
But. they should say what is sequestered in general terms, not security speak.
“Why the U.S. government continues to protect the criminally corrupt House of Saud is beyond me.”
Petrodollar. At its inception, all oil was traded in dollars; most still is. Saudis, Gulf states always had a US carrier group in or near the Gulf. These states always bought the US treasuries and they were kept as reserves. Without reserve status, prices would be a lot higher for almost everything.
The buck is backed by a gun.
Probably because nobody has bothered to review them and decide whether or not they should still be classified. I talked to my FIL who was a test pilot about declassification and he said it’s mostly random. Stuff stays classified for many years after it’s common knowledge because nobody really bothers to check.

Not SA - the Admin Mod said the video attracted 9/11 Truthers in an earlier appearance on the forum so the one posted this morning got the lock. Interesting that this article remains available, musta been a shift change...
We should have bombed them,occupied their Wahhabi sect sunni nation and taken all their oil. Why did we attack Iraq? Strange given the absolute undeniable fact that Iraq had nothing to do with the attack on our Christian Nation.
No shift change. We’re working on accommodating everyone. Except the Truthers.
There has been a deep and abiding relationship between this country’s leadership and the saudis. I would not be surprised if there were a coverup of the saudi role in the 9/11 murders.
