Zero Hedge: Was Saudi Arabia Behind 9/11: These 28 Pages Have The Answer
Is it sensitive Steve, might it involve opening a bit of can of worms, or some snakes crawling out of there, yes.
That's how the latest "60 Minutes" segment ended on Sunday.
The comment was in reference to the final chapter of a Congressional investigative report into 9/11 that has been left out of the report due to it being classified. The congressional investigative report is a report that was completed and handed over to the 9/11 commission, who ultimately produced the final "official" report.
The 28 pages that were classified have only been seen by a select few, and allegedly have to do with details around the existence of a possible Saudi support system for the hijackers while they were in the US among other implications of official Saudi involvement.
The push to declassify the documents is being led by then Chairman of the Senate Select Committe on Intelligence, former Senator Bob Grahm (D-FL), who has been a strong advocate of the documents being declassified since the Bush administration classified them due to matters of national security back in 2003.
Point blank, the Democratic senator said the hijackers were "substantially" supported by Saudi government, as well as charities and wealthy people in that country.

Everytime the US goes to "push" Saudi Arabia on policy, the Senate makes empty noises about declassifying the 28 pages.
The US is "never" going to declassify those pages as long as Saudi Arabia is an "ally", because declassifying those pages would make it very clear to the Public how much of an actual enemy to the US, Saudi Arabia is.
Never say never. History has a way of suddenly changing in unexpected ways.
The US will "declare" Saudi Arabia an "enemy" first, then release the report,
"Back to the Saudi diplomatic caravan. Obama will soon visit Saudi Arabia:
The White House says Obama will head to Saudi Arabia on April 21 for a summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Obama last year hosted leaders from the group of Gulf nations. They’ll discuss the fight against Daesh and other Mideast security concerns.
In preparation for Obama's arrival in Riyadh the U.S. has again pulled out the "28 pages" threat. These still classified parts of the 9/11 investigation describe Saudi interaction with the terrorists. Whenever the White House wants something important from the Saudis it launches a campaign to declassify the 9/11 findings which would turn Saudi Arabia into a public enemy. This comes on top of the recent interview Obama gave to the Atlantic in which he questioned the U.S. alliance with Saudi Arabia. The politicized Fitch rating agency just lowered Saudi credit worthiness. What does Obama want the Saudis to do?"

But that's not going to happen anytime soon given how much Saudi Arabia spends on buying influence in Washington.

Then Saudi Arabia talks about how they work with their U.S. counterparts. How George Bush senior watched the attacks with the King of SA. FBI connections with 9/11 hijackers. How the only planes allowed to fly after 9/11 were to take SA citizens out of the country. Al-Awlaki's dinner at the pentagon shortly after 9/11. There could be some mutually assured destruction politically speaking. Or there would be if this wasn't already public knowledge, and if people actually cared.
None of the MAD, as far as we know, falls on the Obama Administration, which is why the "28 pages" is a common lever used only since Bush left office.
