A series of articles appearing over the past twenty-four hours reflects the growing drumbeat, as Rep. Walter Jones described it, to force the Obama administration to declassify the 28 pages of the Joint Congressional Inquiry report on 9/11.

A sampling:

• “The 28 Classified Pages as a 2016 Presidential Campaign Issue” is the latest posting on 28page.org, referring particularly to Michael Rubin’s piece in Commentary, which Rubin followed up by a posting on the website of the American Enterprise Institute, “Why is the 9/11 report still censored?” in which Rubin summarizes his Commentary piece, and concludes:

• OpEdNews on Jan. 21 published “Retired Senator Bob Graham slams the White House Over Non-Release of 28 Redacted Pages of 9-11 Report.” Author David William Pear reports in great detail that Graham is putting on a “full-court press” to get the redacted 28 pages of the 9-11 Commission report released to the public, as these “are suspected of revealing that Saudi Arabia was involved in the financing and aiding of at least some of the 9-11 hijackers.” Pear documents the stonewalling and cover-up by both the Bush and Obama administrations, and quotes extensively from Graham’s remarks at the Jan. 7 press conference in D.C. with Walter Jones and Steven Lynch, for which he provides the link, in addition to links to other interviews Graham has given.

• Huffington Post‘s “World Post” has a piece, “How Saudi Wahhabism Is the Fountainhead of Islamist Terrorism,” in which the author (from BASIC) writes:

The article provides many details on Saudi funding of madrassas, terrorists, etc., and cites former Sen. Bob Graham and the fight to release the 28 pages.

• The National Interest Jan. 21 publishes under the headline “9/11 Forever (and Ever)” a good article by retired Army Col. Daniel Davis, with the kicker:

And, he notes, many of these measures “have caused us to drift into darker moral territory,” citing the invasion of Iraq, drone strikes, and torture, which have actually undercut our security. Davis demands that as a nation, the U.S. must be willing to stand up and admit that these were wrong, and correct course.

• Bloomberg, Jan. 21 article by Eli Lake “Why Obama Can’t Say ‘Radical Islam’.” The answer is, of course, that both Obama and Bush before him sought the support of many radical Muslims in the long war against radical Islamic terrorists.
