A member of the 9/11 commission has broken his silence about some of the unreleased findings:

A former Republican member of the 9/11 commission, breaking dramatically with the commission's leaders, said Wednesday he believes there was clear evidence that Saudi government employees were part of a support network for the 9/11 hijackers and that the Obama administration should move quickly to declassify a long-secret congressional report on Saudi ties to the 2001 terrorist attack.

The comments by John F Lehman, an investment banker in New York who was Navy secretary in the Reagan administration, signal the first serious public split among the 10 commissioners since they issued a 2004 final report that was largely read as an exoneration of Saudi Arabia, which was home to 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11.

    Do you have proof is wasn’t a CIA operation?

    Considering the CIA has their hands in all the cookie jars, I’m pretty sure they were involved at some level. I know they armed and trained Al-Qaeda, even trained Osama himself. How far it went after that, I have no idea. Pretty sure no one will know until CIA Snowden comes forth.

    Even knowing how the CIA tremendously fucked up, why did Obama have the CIA train ISIS? Or whatever you want to call them before they became ISIS. Did the CIA recommend it or is Obama that stupid?

    That already happened. Snowden was originally CIA before he was tasked with taking NSA down a peg for reducing their HUMINT via shared data.

    Oh, you mean when a leaker from inside CIA gets massive news coverage in CIA influenced western news? Not gonna happen. Protip: Nothing Snowden released wasn't already known either directly or indirectly through other means. Room 641A was known beforehand. ECHELON / Five Eyes and Omnivore / Carnivore before it were known about going back to the 60's. We've been documenting warrantless spying going back to telegraphs and snail mail. However, the media didn't hammer on about it until CIA wanted it talked about.

    Huge leaks happen all the time, but you're not hip to them and they won't get air time like Snowden leaks because CIA doesn't want them to be aired. The leaks happening aren't what's required to get the info out. The ignorant masses will stay ignorant unless the mainstream media makes a point of it, even if gov officials are on the record talking about how DoD and CIA are fighting each other accidentally via their respective creations of FSA and ISIS (also a Mossad OP; protip: Israel gets 70% of their oil from ISIS through Turkey).

    Hint: The 28 pages are primarily propaganda and will not unmask the most grievous of the culprits. Look into who purchased the WTC properties (having a negative ROI) and insured them against terrorist attacks just before the buildings were demolished (they had asbestos and were too expensive to remodel or demolish legally). What commonality does Silverstein have with the [prior] owner of the venue attacked in Paris? Did you know that the Bataclan concert hall was sold just before the attacks, on 9/11? Did you know the 'Eagles of Death Metal' who were playing at the event had a song titled, "San Bernardino", which was where the next major terrorist attack took place?

    Starting making the connections, and it will get a bit too coincidental for Occam's Razor to dismiss. You don't need a Snowden of the CIA, you just need to do a bit of research. Note that you can not determine what the simplest answer might be without knowing most of the evidence.

      Nice try, but you're a fucking shill. Forumspies Technique #10, but poorly done. If your boss finds out, you're in the shit.

      Nothing Snowden released wasn't already suspected

      Fixed that for you.

        Ha, that's rich. You're deflecting rather than addressing any of the points. That's a classic disinformation tactic. Known Before Snowden: Prism's AT&T room 641A [wikipedia.org] Carnivore / Omnivore [wikipedia.org] Known Before Snowden., ECHELON / Five Eyes [wikipedia.org] Known before Snowden. Hint: The PATRIOT ACT granted RETROACTIVE immunity to telecoms for helping with vast warrantless wiretapping programs. There's plenty more where that comes from if you just do your own research. Ah, but you see, a real shill would be deflecting and denying not telling people to go digging up more data... Which are you doing and which am I doing?

        Just because YOU didn't know about the programs doesn't mean they weren't known about before Snowden.
