28 pages of a finding on foreign government support, namely Saudi Arabia, for the 9/11 hijackers have remained classified since 2002. The chairman and vice chairman of the 9/11 Commission and the Senate co-chair of the inquiry that produced the 28 pages have said there's no national security reason to keep this information classified and that Americans need and deserve to know what the government knows. The bill has bipartisan support, and passed through the Judiciary Committee without dissent. Saudi Arabia is an unreliable ally, and an oppressive regime that has spread the poison of radical Wahabist Islam. Their indiscriminate bombing of Yemen has killed thousands of civilians, and allowed Al-Qaeda to resurface. We cannot blindly shield such a regime from scrutiny any more.
