The establishment is lying about the 9/11 report

http://nypost.com/2016/05/02/the-establishment-is-lying-about-the-911-report/

As the push to declassify the 28 pages implicating the Saudis in 9/11 intensifies, the Washington establishment is circling the wagons around our Saudi “friends.”

On Sunday, CIA Director John Brennan pooh-poohed the credibility of the chapter of the 2002 congressional 9/11 inquiry dealing with foreign sponsorship of the attacks that his boss still, despite repeated promises to 9/11 families, refuses to make public.

Brennan told “Meet the Press” he’s “quite puzzled” by the mounting bipartisan campaign to release the censored pages, which are said to tie Saudi government officials to some of the hijackers through financial and phone records, among other evidence. He dismissed them as a grab-bag of “uncorroborated, unvetted information” and “just a collation of information that came out of FBI files.”

In fact, much of the information sprang from Brennan’s own files at Langley.

Kean and Hamilton also claimed all “9/11 Commission members and relevant staff were given access to the 28 pages,” but at least one senior staff investigator was fired by the commission director for requesting access to the 28 pages, even though she had clearance and was working Saudi leads. And Hamilton himself admitted in an interview last year that he’d “never read” the 28-page section — “I don’t know what’s in it. No one ever came to me and said you ought to read these pages.”

Last year, both Kean and Hamilton said they wanted all 28 pages released in full, adding they were “embarrassed they’re not declassified.” Now, suddenly, they’re urging a selective release, if at all, and are downplaying the idea there’s anything explosive to uncover.

So, who has actually read the 28 pages?

. . . is reason enough to question the official story.

"Missile or Plane" PFFFFFFT, why was anything allowed to hit the Pentagon, PERIOD? Especially after they knew for a full hour that planes had been either been hijacked or gone off course? Are giant low-flying planes usually allowed a long-ass joyride through DC airspace or is my history just not up to snuff?
