A classified file within the White House called "Finding, Discussion and Narrative Regarding Certain Sensitive National Security Matters", has 28-pages worth of information on the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York, and apparently contains damning information, said Democratic Congressman Stephen Lynch back in 2014.Till now, these pages have been conspicuous by their absence in mainstream media.
Now current and former members of Congress, US officials, and the 9/11 Commissioners themselves are coming up to appeal for the release of these pages, so that people can get the information they need. Families of victims have till date not received full details of the attack, and several cover ups seem to indicate a conspiracy behind the most sensational terrorist attack of the 21st century.
Bob Graham, former Florida governor, Democratic US Senator and onetime chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, who appeared on 60-Minutes did not discuss the classified contents, but said that the 28 pages have an outline of people who he believes supported the hijackers. He told Steve Kroft that he believes the hijackers were “substantially” supported by Saudi Arabia. Upon being asked if the support was from government, rich people or charities, the former senator replied, “all of the above," CBS reported.
Senator Max Cleland called it a "national scandal" and resigned from the 9/11 commission; he stated in a PBS interview that "I’m saying that’s deliberate. I am saying that the delay in relating this information to the American public out of a hearing… series of hearings, that several members of Congress knew eight or ten months ago, including Bob Graham and others, that was deliberately slow walked… the 9/11 Commission was deliberately slow walked, because the Administration’s policy was, and its priority was, we’re going to take Saddam Hussein out.”
After the attacks, the actions of Dick Cheney and George W. Bush have been considered criminally suspicious as well, given that they told the commission that they would not be formally interviewed in relation to the attacks on September 11. Is the government keeping a secret?
Former Sen. Bob Graham, who played a major role in the 9/11 investigation, says he's "deeply disturbed" that "28 pages" are still classified
