Movement to Declassify 9/11 Information Gathers Momentum ... 9/11 Commission Chairs and Congressmen Call for Declassification
The 9/11 Commission Co-Chairs - Lee Hamilton and Thomas Kean - have called for the 28-page section of the 9/11 Commission Report which is classified to be declassified. Kean said that 60-70% of what was classified shouldn't have been classified in the first place:
Congressman Thomas Massie read the 28 classified pages of the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry into 9/11 (the joint Senate and House investigation into 9/11) and immediately called for them to be released to the public:
A bipartisan bill - introduced by congressmen Walter B. Jones (Republican from North Carolina) and Stephen Lynch (Democrat from Massachusetts) - would declassify the 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry which implicate the Saudi government.
Former Congressman Ron Paul is also demanding the 28 pages be declassified:
The Co-Chair of the congressional investigation into 9/11 - Bob Graham - and 9/11 Commissioner and former Senator Bob Kerrey are calling for either a “permanent 9/11 commission” or a new 9/11 investigation to get to the bottom of it.
Senator Graham has lobbied Obama for years to release the 28 pages and to reopen the investigation, but Obama has refused. The former Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee and 9/11 investigator has even resorted to filing Freedom of Information requests to obtain information, but the Obama administration is still stonewalling:
Graham said that like the 28 pages in the 9/11 inquiry, the Sarasota case is being “covered up” by U.S. intelligence. Graham has been fighting to get the FBI to release the details of this investigation with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and litigation. But so far the bureau has stalled and stonewalled, he said.
And high-level former NSA official Thomas Drake provided testimony to the 9/11 investigations documenting that the "official story" of 9/11 makes little sense, as the intelligence agencies had all of the information they needed to stop it. Drake's testimony has - for no real reason - been classified. Drake is seeking to declassify his testimony to the 9/11 Commission:
I would argue for declassification and release because the 9/11 Commission asked for it in the public interest, my testimony was given to Congress via testimony (oral and written) to investigators as a material witness and whistleblower, because of NSA’s coverup of its accountability for 9/11, and the coverup committed by NSA to obstruct official Congressional investigations, plus declassification is timely in terms of ongoing efforts to reform NSA by Congress and the President.
I do know that my testimony and evidence was fully suppressed and censored as a deep state secret - so secret that it was not included in the classified report of the 9/11 Joint Inquiry.
Indeed, the 9/11 Commission admits that it never got all of the facts ... and many officials are eager to spill the beans about what they know.
Still Urgent Today
Ancient history, you say? Graham notes:
Although it's been more than a decade ago when this horrific event occurred, I think [the questions of who supported the attacks] have real consequences to U.S. actions today.
As Graham told PBS:
We need to have this information now because it’s relevant to the threat that the people of the United States are facing today.
Postscript: People may not remember now, but – at the time – the supposed Iraqi state sponsorship of 9/11 was at least as important a justification for the Iraq war as the alleged weapons of mass destruction. This claim that Iraq is linked to 9/11 has since been debunked by the 9/11 Commission, top government officials, and even – long after they alleged such a link – Bush and Cheney themselves.
But 70% of the American public believed it at the time, and 85% of U.S. troops believed the U.S. mission in Iraq was "to retaliate for Saddam's role in the 9-11 attacks."
Only last year, John Glaser noted:
Significant portions of Americans still believe that Saddam and al-Qaeda were in cahoots and cooperated in the 9/11 attacks. The reason is simple: the administration told them this lie.
An investigation by a committee in the House of Representatives in 2004 identified “237 misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq that were made by President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary Powell, and National Security Advisor Rice. These statements were made in 125 separate appearances, consisting of 40 speeches, 26 press conferences and briefings, 53 interviews, 4 written statements, and 2 congressional testimonies.”
According to the committee, at least 61 separate statements “misrepresented Iraq’s ties to al-Qaeda.” A Senate investigation in 2006 also covered these lies.
Keeping this lie afloat took some work. The Bush administration, primarily Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld, “applied relentless pressure on interrogators to use harsh methods on detainees in part to find evidence of cooperation between al Qaida and the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s regime,” McClatchy reported in 2009.
According to Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to Bush’s Secretary of State Powell, “the administration authorized harsh interrogation” in 2002, and “its principal priority for intelligence was not aimed at pre-empting another terrorist attack on the U.S. but discovering a smoking gun linking Iraq and al-Qa’ida.”
Wilkerson is right.
In other words, the failure to conduct a real 9/11 investigation contributed to the Iraq war, torture, and the failure to fix fundamental weaknesses in - and threats to - America's national security.

Don't waste your time on this tool "J" 'moneybots'.
Bought and paid for troll that always shows up when 9/11 information gets deposited on ZH and the evidence and information is overwhelming and contradictory to the official narrative. For example that "9.8 meters per second squared" is "irrelevant"... in the collapse of the twin towers and bldg 7, and that it doesn't matter... and that if you would just somehow look at it you know that fire is the culprit that melts not one, not two, but three steel frame structures (with and without airplanes) the exact same way (in a very fast accelerated collapse that isn't really near free fall) and that the official lie the Federal government gave us makes perfect sense.
Well 'moneybots', the only thing that makes perfect sense is that you are a dual citizen that gets my tax money for your retirement in Tel Aviv and that whatever Mossad pays you to do -you do!
"Soosoome... you are full of shit. Wha the hell is your game, you a Saudi POS MuzzyRoid?"
A&E is full of it.
Did ya respond in the wrong name?
Sorry to upset everyone. I can't help the facts. I used to believe AE and all the CD stuff until I decided to look for myself in order to answer a few nagging questions.
Its 28 pages put together by who? Concider the source of these pages?
Lets see the video from the gas station. Or any of the other videos taken at gun point. It matters not at all what other nations helped pull it off. The players in our own government are the ones we need to go after. First things first. This is just more smoke. A stagged presentation to manipulate either us or the Saudis.
The tipoff for me on this is none of the tools aking for these 28 pages are asking for all the information to be released. Just this tiny little shread that obviously servers some other sneaky motive.
Never trust anybody asking for half truths. Its basic logic boys.
"Lets see the video from the gas station. Or any of the other videos taken at gun point."
There were 136 witnesses who saw a jetliner heading toward or hitting The Pentagon.
There was jetliner debris. http://www.911myths.com/html/757_wreckage.html
A jetliner struck The Pentagon.
I would agree that the government should simply release the videos, but those who say a missile hit The Pentagon will be disappointed.
Bullshit spotting lesson.
I WOULD AGREE that the govenment should bla bla.= I dont agree.
And its backed up with opinion stated as fact.

The government should release the tapes , but the fact is that there isn't any smoking gun among them.
I would agree does not = i don't agree.
Yes it does.
Did you see the tapes?
"Yes it does."
No it doesn't.
Dude give it up. You fell for every piece of bait I tossed out. Even the most basic bait. Sucker!

So you saw the tapes?
"So you saw the tapes?"
Do i need to see the tapes to understand there is nothing in them that contradicts what the other evidence shows, namely that an American Airlines jetliner crashed into The Pentagon?

Yes?! Man, I kinda feel bad for calling you mentally retarded early. Downs Syndrome is a serious genetic disorder. I'm just ashamed that my gubment hires the mentally handicapped.
I do support Youth in Asia, however. I luv me some WalsMarts.
Stand by while he waits for AIPAC to tell him what to type in reply.
Some say Charlie Sheen takes a lot of drugs , bla bla bla..... He is upset because he worked hard and made
a great video >>> charlie sheen letter to the president ( youtube ) .. his dad helped ...
Charlie is upset , people won't listen to him.... watch the video . . . do it now...
Charlie and his dad Martin demand the truth about 911 ... God Bless the USA . .
The present situation is eerily reminiscent of 2009 , right down to threatened pandemic (remember Mexican swine flu?).
Deliberate use was made of the Hysterical Focus effect . As is now .

BBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ wrong answer.
shit, shit, shit.....
It was the thousands of tons of asbestos in the WTC buildings that melted the granite and concrete. Popular Mechanics says so and they wouldn't lie. /s
This guy didn't want to pay for the asbestos cleanup.

Next comedian please.
I think this might be the first time ive witnessed software fail a Turing Test. Is this the best that DARPA can do? THIS?! Is where all that black money goes? Into the likes of software like "you".
Even without those 28 pages, there are a few glaring details about the 9/11 attacks that bear further scrutiny.
Box Cutters
For instance, it's simply not possible for men to take over four separate planes with only Walmart box cutters. The idiot who came up with that particular cover story should be ass-raped in prison for engaging in utter stupidity.
NORAD
In addition, when NORAD finally dispatched fighter jets, they did so from an Air Force base in Cape Code instead of from the Air Force base in New Jersey -- McGuire Air Force Base. Sending fighter jets from McGuire would have enabled those jets to reach the World Trade Center in approximately 5 minutes when flying on afterburners.
The Pentagon
The section of the Pentagon that was hit on 9/11 inexplicably housed civilian accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts, according to the newspaper, South Coast Today. This is odd because one day prior to 9/11, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon couldn't account for $2.3 trillion dollars.

There are no fighters at McGuire AFB. They just have tankers and cargo planes.
Fighters no longer stand alert. That is a bygone era from the cold war. We used to have F-106's on alert at Atlantic City....no more.
Icarus
And what was in building 7? Yes, follow the money.

heard once the only emergenxy vontrol center at that time in newyork.
maybe to much computers loaded in it
The planes were flown by remote control from WTC 7 probably.

There might have been one little problem with that idea.
Back in the 1970's i took basic at Fort Dix. I remember numerous times, watching large transport planes coming in for a landing over at McGuire. Google Earth shows a number of large planes sittiing on the tarmack, but no fighter jets.
Moneybots and sosoome are two of the most incompetent trolls I've seen yet. Better give up fellas, ZH is a difficult place to peddle your disinfo about 9/11.

If rummy were going to "take out" all the accountants hot on his trail the very next day, why on earth would he bother to announce his reason for doing so?
"Box Cutters

That is silly. Of coarse a plane could be taken over by people armed with just knives.
@moneybots
If some fucker with a box cutter, starts to threaten a jet liner I'm, then god as my witness I'm going to kick his ass, along with about 20-30 other MEN, you sir, are not a man. Youre a contemptuous, spinless, soulless creature. Do yourself, your family, and everyone you know a favor and kill yourself. Youre a criminal, a liar of the highest order, and its because of people like you that thousands, if not MILLIONS of innocent men, women, and children have died or been maimed based on the lies that you perpetrate and continue to espouce and defend. The blood is on your hands, motherfucker. Die you cunt!

That is just too funny. Post 9/11 does not equate to pre 9/11.
The flight 93 passengers rushed the flight cabin after they learned that the other hijacked planes were flown into buildings. They then knew they to suffer the same fate and that people could be killed in whatever building the flight 93 hijackers were targetting.
You aure do like assumptions and suppositions.
It's beyond doubtful that passengers would be fearful of men wielding box cutters. And pilots would certainly not relinquish control of a plane to men with only those weapons.
Prior to 9/11, no one had ever attempted to hijack a plane without a gun.
Box cutters don't inspire fear in anyone...unless you work for Fedex or UPS and are worried about delivering a package fully intact.
Of course, we also shouldn't forget the fact that George W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, owned Securacom, the company that provided security for the World Trade Center.

"It's beyond doubtful that passengers would be fearful of men wielding box cutters."
That is just silly. How many people armed with just a knife, have taken people hostage? You can probrably find some videos of them on Youtube.
A pilot with his throat slit would certainly relinquish control of his plane.
And guys who had trouble flying cessnas can all of a sudden control a 767 with great precision into a building?
"And guys who had trouble flying cessnas can all of a sudden control a 767 with great precision into a building?"
The Towers were 200 feet wide, greater than the wingspan of the jetliners. Atta flew straight in toward One World Trade from the north. The other hijacker pilot didn't do such a good job of it, hitting the east portion of the south side of Two World Trade, indicating he wasn't a professional. The Pentagon is a huge buildiing. The Jetliner hit off angle to the building. except for Atta, not particulary good displays of precision.
