    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.

    Don't see what the big deal is about this. Everyone already knows Hillary planned 9/11.

    OMG, the 29 pages are available to the public now!

    http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...et-28-pages-from-congressional-sept-11-report

    The intelligence agency that took part in declassifying the 28 pages also released a previously secret follow-up report based on further inquiries by the FBI and the CIA.

    “There is no evidence that either the Saudi government or members of the Saudi royal family knowingly provided support for the attacks of 11 September 2001 or that they had foreknowledge of terrorist operations in the Kingdom or elsewhere," according to a summary issued Friday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

    “While in the United States, some of the September 11 hijackers were in contact with, and received support or assistance from, individuals who may be connected to the Saudi Government,” the report said. “There is information, primarily from FBI sources, that at least two of those individuals were alleged by some to be Saudi intelligence officers.”

    nearly all of the hijackers were saudis, obviously they had connections to saudis. SA is the world hotbed for extremism.

    Unsubstantiated, but later investigated and found nothing to it.

    The findings however show no smoking gun for Saudi involvement, but rather an inability to "identify definitively" Saudi links to attacks on US soil and global terror.

    But the pages, part of a 2002 joint inquiry by the Senate and House Intelligence Committees into the al-Qaeda plot, do not appear to add significantly to information collected in subsequent investigations, including the 9/11 Commission report, published in 2004, and numerous other documents that have since been made public.

    ...

    All of the Saudis named in the pages released Friday, including several who had been in direct contact with two of the hijackers during their time in the United States prior to the attacks, were investigated by the FBI and CIA, with results detailed in later reports.

    ...

    Eleanor J. Hill, who served as staff director of the joint congressional inquiry, stressed that the panel itself never reached any conclusions about the material contained in the newly released pages, and that the public should understand that they contain threads that were at the time seen as investigative leads for others to pursue.

    “People are thinking they’re going to see conclusions,” Hill said. “What people should remember was that this was information that was found in the files of law enforcement and intelligence agencies” by lawmakers and their staff and was “information being referred for further investigation.”

    Same CIA that the Bush administration got to say that Iraq had yellow cake?

    Same FBI that the Obama administration got to say that Hillary is innocent?

    Mmmm... Saudi Kool Aid is sooooo yummy!

    Obama's CIA and DIA validated the work. The 9/11 Commission was bi-partisan.

    These are 28 carefully selected pages out of a 500-page summary of a 50,000-page CIA report.
