Florida congressman denied access to censored pages from Congress’ 9/11 report

The U.S. House Intelligence Committee has denied a Florida congressman’s request for access to 28 classified pages from the 2002 report of Congress’ Joint Inquiry into the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, told BrowardBulldog.org he made his request at the suggestion of House colleagues who have read them as they consider whether to support a proposed resolution urging President Obama to open those long-censored pages to the public.

“Why was I denied? I have been instrumental in publicizing the Snowden revelations regarding pervasive domestic spying by the government and this is a petty means for the spying industrial complex to lash back,” Grayson said last week, referring to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.

...

In a party line vote, the House Intelligence Committee voted 8-4 on Dec. 1 to deny Democrat Grayson access to the 28 pages. The same day, the committee unanimously approved requests to access classified committee documents – not necessarily the 28 pages – by 11 other House members.

Grayson, an outspoken liberal and a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, said his denial was engineered by outgoing Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich. Rogers is a former FBI agent who did not seek re-election in November.

Love him or hate him, Grayson isn't known for keeping a low profile about anything.

This "need to know" protection is bullshit. Every Representative of every district has a "need to know" so that they can make informed decisions for those they represent. Those individuals in his district need to bring a lawsuit stating that since their representative is not in the loop then he is unable to represent them adequately.

I'm not a big fan of Rep. Grayson. But I must say I would enjoy it if he threw his hat in the ring for the DNC presidential nomination next round. AND he has the money to do that just. He is good at igniting fireworks.

He's been denied access to classified documents two other times supposedly because he displayed classified NSA information on the House floor (even though they were public from The Guardian's reporting).
