After the 9/11 attacks, the public was told al Qaeda acted alone, with no state sponsors.
But the White House never let it see an entire section of Congress investigative report on 9/11 dealing with specific sources of foreign support for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.
...
President Bush inexplicably censored 28 full pages of the 800-page report. Text isnt just blacked-out here and there in this critical-yet-missing middle section. The pages are completely blank, except for dotted lines where an estimated 7,200 words once stood (this story by comparison is about 1,000 words).
A pair of lawmakers who recently read the redacted portion say they are absolutely shocked at the level of foreign state involvement in the attacks.
Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) cant reveal the nation identified by it without violating federal law. So theyve proposed Congress pass a resolution asking President Obama to declassify the entire 2002 report, Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001.

And why were they allowed to see the report?

(825 posts)Assuming 9/11 was sponsored by the Saudis, what may have been their motive? What did they stand to gain?

(3,997 posts)Assuming 9/11 was sponsored by the Saudis, what conditions existed so that their clearly provable involvement would not result in a declaration of war by the US.
Unless, the US and Saudis were partners....
