Shocking Details in the Secret 28 Pages
The 28 classified pages from a congressional report on 9/11 contain many details on who supported the attackers, but “nothing about national security,” members of Congress from both parties say as they urge President Barack Obama to release the pages.
Following Tuesday’s vote in the Senate to allow the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged involvement in the attacks, there is a growing movement on Capitol Hill to pressure Obama to follow up on his April comments, when he indicated that he would declassify a 28-page report rumored to implicate the Saudis.
Nolan said that the release of information about activities leading up to the 9/11 attacks is critical for the public to make foreign policy decisions.
“If we’re gonna be spending trillions of dollars, if we’re gonna be taking America’s finest young men and women who’ve stepped up to serve our country and go to war, we better know who our friends and enemies are,” Nolan said.
“Decisions to go to war, with the profound impact that it has on treasury and on blood, are just so profound,” the Minnesota Democrat added. “And the American people are capable of good judgment on these matters.”
Nolan said that after he read the 28 pages, he believed much more strongly that families of the victims of 9/11 should be able to sue the Saudi government or whoever it may be who was responsible, adding that a bill giving them such power has a chance to pass in the House.
“The American people have a right to know. The American people who have been victimized by this have a right to sue. And that’s one of the hallmarks of what American democracy is all about,” he said.
