The 28 pages excluded from the public release of the report made by 2002's Joint Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 will finally be released, perhaps as soon as today.
The secret documents, which are actually one page longer than previously known, are widely believed to somehow implicate the Saudi Arabian government in the attacks. "The 28 pages primarily relate to who financed 9/11," said former Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.), who as a member of Congress was allowed to read the pages, "and they point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia."
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said once the House Intelligence Committee gets a redacted version of the pages, "the Senate and House intel committees should then give the formal go-ahead to release the report, since they originally produced it."
