28 pages on alleged Saudi ties to 9/11 to be released as soon as Friday

Source: CNN

(CNN) — The long-classified pages detailing alleged ties of the Saudi Arabian government to the 9/11 hijackers will be released by Congress as early as Friday, sources told CNN Thursday.

Known as the "28 pages," the secret document was part of a 2002 congressional investigation of the Sept. 11 attacks and has been classified since the report's completion. It turns out there are actually 29 pages, sources said.

Sources said there are still some procedural steps that need to be taken before the release, which members of both parties in Congress and family members of victims have been seeking for years.

"This is great news," said Jerry Goldman, a lawyer who represents families of victims in a class-action suit, seeking to sue Saudi Arabia. "The families are happy just as the American people should be happy that information that has been kept hidden for well over a decade is finally coming to light."

The Saudi Ambassador to America was paying for the living expenses of three of the
hijackers in S. California and hse had an employee of the Saudi intel service pick them
up at the airport and set them up in an apartment too.

At the most we'll get a 'the' on page 4, and we'll be forced to try to put that into some kind of context.

I think someone would have to give me smelling salts if there was unredacted damaging information about Saudi Arabia in those pages.

I tend to think the Saudis are the tail not the dog.

Although Israel has tried to move our policy in the past through such actions, so who knows.

When an official story is as absurd to begin with as the 9/11 story is, all they really do is fuel speculation. This much we know: they were certainly not above pulling something like that; the craven way in which they led us into, and waged, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars certainly proved as much.

Either way, we'll probably never know the whole truth. But then, do we ever really.

Classified papers and kept secret from the public in the 2002 Congressional investigation
and the FBI's allowing the Bin Laudin family to fly out during the no fly zone

Too many people have too much riding - and are making too much money - to allow something like that.

The Long-Hidden Saudi-9/11 Trail

Kristen Breitweiser is a 9/11 widow and activist who – working with other 9/11 widows known collectively as the “Jersey Girls” – pressured the U.S. government to conduct a formal investigation into the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

I regard the "Jersey Girls" with the highest esteem and inherently trust their vetting of developments, although I don't closely follow their work or this topic. Presumably, they'd have answers to the caveats and qualifiers here: http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/28_pages_on_saudi_links_to_9_11_are_declassified_20160716
