IA Director John Brennan on Sunday defended the government’s decision to withhold 28 pages of the 9/11 Commission Report, telling NBC the classified pages contain “inaccurate” information that could be used to tie Saudi Arabia to the 9/11 terror attacks, Huff Post reports.
“This chapter was kept out because of concerns about sensitive methods [and] investigative actions,” Brennan told “Meet The Press” host Chuck Todd, adding that at the time these findings were issued, in 2002, the investigation into 9/11 was still underway.
Brennan said the 9/11 Commission Report contains “a combination of things that are accurate and inaccurate.” Ultimately, he said, the joint inquiry “came out with a very clear judgment that there was no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution, or Saudi officials or individuals, had provided financial support to al Qaeda.” Read more at Huff Post.
