Freedom Outpost
As Americans bemoan the Obama administration’s stonewalling and redacted pages at the center of mounting scandals, they have also been largely ignoring 28 very significant pages about the 9/11 attacks that were redacted by the Bush administration. Those documents and their contents remain unavailable to the American public.
However, thanks to a bi-partisan effortby several members of the House of Representatives, pressure is being applied to the Obama administration to unseal those pages. Late last year, a two-page resolution co-sponsored by Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) and Rep. Walter B. Jones (R-NC) was filed calling on Obama to do just that. It states, in part:
The President should declassify the 28-page section of the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 2001;
This week, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) posted an excerpt from a news conference he attended in March, during which he explained what he saw when he had access to those 28 pages. It’s definitely worth a watch as he clearly understands the gravity of what he read:
The Resolution has actually attracted more conservative members of the House than left-wing members who most certainly would like to take another shot at George W. Bush. Shockingly, aside from Lynch, Rep. Alcee Hastings is the only Democrat who has signed on to the Resolution. The remaining House members – Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA), Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY), Massie, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX), and Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) – are by and large of the more conservative bent.
