In an interview with Brent Bambury of Canada’s CBC Radio last week, former Senator Bob Graham said the unwarranted censorship of a 28-page finding on foreign government support of the 9/11 hijackers shielded Saudi Arabia from scrutiny—enabling that country to continue funding extremists in the Middle East and setting the stage for the rise of ISIS:
“I believe that had the role of Saudi Arabia in 9/11 been disclosed by the release of the 28 pages and by the declassification of other information as to the Saudi role and support of the 9/11 hijackers that it would have made it much more difficult for Saudi Arabia to have continued that pattern of behaviour...and I think would have had a good chance of reigning in the activity that today Canada, the United States and other countries either are or are not considering going to war with.”
Graham reinforced assertions by Congressman Stephen Lynch—who joined Rep. Walter Jones in introducing a resolution urging the president to declassify the 28 pages—that the redacted finding is highly relevant to the country’s confrontation with ISIS:
“The connection is a direct one. Not only has Saudi Arabia been promoting this extreme form of religion, but it also has been the principal financier, first of Al Qaeda then of the various Al Qaeda franchises around the world specifically the ones in Somalia and Yemen and now the support of ISIS.”
Bambury asked Graham—who co-chaired the inquiry that produced the 28 pages—how he felt when he learned this section would be redacted. Graham said, “I was dismayed, surprised, angry (along) with my colleague, who was a Republican senator. Neither of us felt there was any national security issues involved in those 28 pages which justified their being censored from public scrutiny.”
Graham was blunt when asked what he thought of Saudi Arabia’s claim that it, too, wants the 28 pages declassified: “I think that was a farce,” said Graham.
A CBC article summarizes the discussion, but we recommend listening to Bambury’s excellent 11-minute interview.

Graham is shilling the mainstream narrative that still blames “19 Saudi hijackers”, when in facr, we know they were PATSIES. Every time someone says “hijackers” we need to correct their faulty use of terminology. There were no “hijackers” on 9/11. And no one took down the Towers or scored a direct hit on the Pentagon by using “box cutters” to “hijack planes”. That is simply Philip Zelikow’s fantastic MYTH of 9/11. And Graham knows it. That’s why they’ve him put there to peddle the ridiculous fantasy of “19 hijackers armed with box cutters and masterminded by a dialysis patient on a laptop computer from a cave somewhere in Afghanistan”. It’s worse than a “limited hangout”. It’s a stupid Hollywood script. Nevertheless, it’s still worth the effort to fight for a “release” of the “28 pages” (prorbably heavily redactd). Because the campaign for “transparency” helps expose the role of liars like Graham.
