So, I found the above article and found it interesting:

Quote:
For more than a decade now, 28 pages in a congressional report about the 9/11 attacks have been entirely excised.


Quote:
...the pages reportedly describe consular and financial support by officials of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.


Quote:
Congressmen Walter Jones, a Republican, and Stephen Lynch, a Democrat, have read the 28 pages, but are constrained by law from discussing their contents. So they have now proposed a Congressional resolution asking Obama to declassify the material.


I guess it's really about oil and luxury, not human rights.

I think it's about Abdullah managing to keep a lid on a country full of radicals. Be careful what you wish for, without the Saudis, it's just Arabia, with thousands of ISIS troops waiting across the border in Iraq, wanting some of that sweet oil money.

The lesser of two evils, then. Makes sense.

Yes, but what is our U.S. government doing by redacting knowledge that is more than a decade old and, now, understood and recognized by anyone who cares to read?

Oh, yes ... lying to us.
