Esquire: The White House Is Likely Going to Release a Secret Chapter from a 9/11 Investigation
The classified pages purportedly implicate Saudi Arabia.
President Barack Obama has been under pressure to release 28 pages of a secret chapter from a joint congressional inquiry into the attacks on September 11, 2001. The chapter in question investigated potential links between Saudi Arabia and the 9/11 attackers. According to reports, the Obama Administration will release the pages soon.
"The 28 pages primarily relate to who financed 9/11, and they point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financier," former Sen. Bob Graham said in February.
The documents have been stored in a secure room in the Capitol since the joint congressional inquiry into the attacks concluded.
Our own Charlie Pierce penned a column calling for their release on April 18, writing, "A vital part of [the history of September 11] remains hidden away in a locked room, the final bit of our common history hidden away for fear of inconveniencing a medievalist regime that has the gall to threaten the one country that has guaranteed its safety against its bellicose neighborhood."

"Principal financier" sounds like Saudi Arabia visited the terrorists' kick starter page and put in a big donation.
Still amazed at the fact that the inquiry is kept secret.
You'd think it would be in the public's interest to know, considering the fact that so many people died. Only reason why its classified is due to a conflict of interests likely with a '3rd party'.
