前美參議員稱美國人民有能力評估9/11機密文件

Former U.S. Senator Bob Graham says Americans are "fully capable" of making up their own minds about 28 classified pages that discuss possible foreign support for those who carried out the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.

The pages are from a joint congressional committee report that came out 14 years ago, but then-President George W. Bush ordered that chapter not be included in the public release of 800 other pages. Some officials with access to the chapter have made comments alluding to Saudi Arabia, but without being able to offer details the exact connections suggested remain a mystery to most of the country.

Graham has been a strong advocate in the push to have the pages released to the public. He said a White House official told him President Barack Obama would make a decision by June and that he viewed that as a "step in the right direction."

The 9/11 Commission and the congressional committee have definitively determined Saudi Arabia had no intent to support al-Qaida.前美國聯邦參議員格雷厄姆說，美國人民“完全有能力”對28頁有關外國支持2001年9月11日恐怖襲擊的機密材料做出判斷。

這些材料出自一個國會聯合委員會14年前撰寫的報告，但當時的總統喬治·W.布什下令，不準把這一章節與其他800頁材料一道公諸於衆。一些看過這一章節的官員曾經發表評論，暗示沙特阿拉伯與9/11恐怖襲擊有關，但未能提供確鑿細節。

格雷厄姆一直堅決主張公佈這些材料。他說，一位白宮官員向他透露，奧巴馬總統將於6月做出決定，他認爲這是“朝着正確的方向邁進了一步”。

9/11委員會和國會委員會堅信，沙特阿拉伯沒有支持基地組織的意願。
