After reviewing redacted pages from the official Congressional inquiry into the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R – Vanceburg, says the pages could change opinions about the role of the United States in middle eastern conflicts.

Describing the pages as “very profound,” Massie along with several other Congressmen are urging President Obama to declassify the pages, and provide more information to the public.

Massie told Pure Politics over the August recess that all members of Congress should read the missing pages before deciding upon foreign policy.

“I think all Congressmen should read those 28 pages, because we’ve fought two wars ostensibly to keep another 9/11 from happening…shouldn’t we know who the players were and how 9/11 was enabled before we craft our foreign policy,” Massie said.

LOL, Those redacted words like "Ned Beatty" could be released a few at time to keep us all preoccupied.

The point of the OP is the US Congress should be fully involved and deciding on (if any) War / US foreign policy.

If there were other foreign governments who helped those 9/11 attackers, we should give them the same treatment we give ISIS. It's one thing for a group of terrorists to attacks us. It is an act of war for any foreign governments that aided them. I may claim to be non-interventionist but if any country aided in these attacks. A joint session of Congress should be called and a declaration of war should be made. I would much rather go after the countries aiding terrorists than ISIS.

If a country aided Al-Qaeda for 9/11, they should be wiped out.

How likely is it that a whole country did it?

I assume this principle of wiping out an entire country for the crimes of its government does not apply to America, because America is exceptional.

Today is September 11. After reading the article below, I have something to add to my statement above. If it is true that President Bush helped cover up the involvement of a foreign government. He, Cheney and everyone involved should also be tried for treason. There is no reason that man should be free when he sentenced American soldiers, men and women to die in Iraq and Afghanistan while at the same time covering up for the government who helped attack us.


On the bottom floor of the United States Capitol’s new underground visitors’ center, there is a secure room where the House Intelligence Committee maintains highly classified files. One of those files is titled “Finding, Discussion and Narrative Regarding Certain Sensitive National Security Matters.” It is twenty-eight pages long. In 2002, the Administration of George W. Bush excised those pages from the report of the Joint Congressional Inquiry into the 9/11 attacks. President Bush said then that publication of that section of the report would damage American intelligence operations, revealing “sources and methods that would make it harder for us to win the war on terror.”

“There’s nothing in it about national security,” Walter Jones, a Republican congressman from North Carolina who has read the missing pages, contends. “It’s about the Bush Administration and its relationship with the Saudis.” Stephen Lynch, a Massachusetts Democrat, told me that the document is “stunning in its clarity,” and that it offers direct evidence of complicity on the part of certain Saudi individuals and entities in Al Qaeda’s attack on America. “Those twenty-eight pages tell a story that has been completely removed from the 9/11 Report,” Lynch maintains. Another congressman who has read the document said that the evidence of Saudi government support for the 9/11 hijacking is “very disturbing,” and that “the real question is whether it was sanctioned at the royal-family level or beneath that, and whether these leads were followed through.” Now, in a rare example of bipartisanship, Jones and Lynch have co-sponsored a resolution requesting that the Obama Administration declassify the pages.
