And by his counsel and advice. Former Democratic Senator Bob Graham co-chaired the 9/11 Joint Inquiry whose money-trail chapter was classified by gwb. Graham is the current champion of this effort to de-classify, as seen by his commanding performance in each of the 28-Pages press conferences. We all need to back him up mightily so that he can get back to his well-deserved retirement.

has already made an invaluable contribution to transparency by way of assisting the filmmakers in the extraordinary documentary Zero Dark Thirty. Releasing the Joint Inquiry report pages would only serve to replow old ground and discourage the intelligence community from protecting the Homeland.

Struggling to detail alleged Saudi role in 9/11 attacks
Philly.com By Chris Mondics, Inquirer Staff Writer
Posted: March 31, 2014

It was four days after a U.S. Navy SEAL team had killed Osama bin Laden, and many of the events of that afternoon are a blur.

But Bill Doyle's recollection of his chat with President Obama remains crystal clear.

-snip-

The president stopped at Doyle's table midway through the event, and Doyle asked when the government would make public portions of a congressional investigation that weighed evidence that Saudi Arabia provided support to the 9/11 hijackers.

"He said, 'Bill, I will get them released,' " Doyle recalled.

Doyle, whose 25-year-old son, Joseph, a trader at the investment firm of Cantor Fitzgerald L.P., died in the World Trade Center attacks, has been a leader of survivors and family organizations pushing the government to release more information...more

Don't you think the families of the victims deserve the whole truth?



9/11 Widows Speak-Kleinberg, Breitweiser, Casazza & Van Auken 9/12/2003

9/12/2003--Two years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, thousands of families are still wondering what could have been done to save their loved ones. In "Unanswered Questions," NOW profiles four New Jersey widows demanding answers to questions about what our government knew before and after the terrorist attacks — and what's being done to protect us today.

Mindy Kleinberg, Kristen Breitweiser, Patty Casazza and Lori Van Auken were widowed by the September 11 terrorist attacks. The four came together as they sought answers and explanations for the tragedy. In their perseverance they helped push for the establishment of an independent commission to investigate 9/11, a request Congress fulfilled last fall.

All four women are mothers and all four lost their husbands in the World Trade Center attacks. Lorie Van Auken and Mindy Kleinberg's husbands were both as securities traders. Mindy's and Patty Casazza's husbands worked for the Cantor Fitzgerald group, which lost 658 employees. Kristen Breitweiser's husband was a vice president at Fiduciary Trust. The women all reside in New Jersey. They and others in that area touched by September 11 are featured in author Gail Sheehy's new book MIDDLETOWN, AMERICA: ONE TOWN'S PASSAGE FROM TRAUMA TO HOPE.
