In moves aimed at heading off an unusual Freedom of Information Act trial in Miami next month, the FBI has released new information about the secretive work of its 9/11 Review Commission.

In one disclosure, the FBI made public how much it paid Reagan-era Attorney General Edwin Meese and two other men who served on the Review Commission, and staff. In another, the FBI put a human face on its effort to discredit a dramatic April 16, 2002 FBI report that said agents had found “many connections” between Saudis living in Sarasota and the 9/11 hijackers.

The FBI withheld the 2002 report from both Congress and the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, more simply known as the 9/11 Commission.

Late last year, in response to FOIA litigation brought by Florida Bulldog, the FBI made public copies of its personal services contracts with Meese, former ambassador and congressman Timothy Roemer and Georgetown professor Bruce Hoffman, but blacked out their pay.

1. The public will probably never learn the whole truth about 9/11, but

this is yet another check mark linking Saudi Arabia’s involvement with the attackers. Kudos to the excellent investigative work done by this local newspaper. I'm amazed at their persistence and dedication to pursue the investigation and bring this story to light.

Thanks for posting!

2. Conspiracy theory nonsense....

Impossible...I read right here on this site that there could not, was not a conspiracy...

"The FBI withheld the 2002 report from both Congress and the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, more simply known as the 9/11 Commission."

The guillotine should be brought back for instances like this.

4. I remember when the PNAC website was still up

Iran was on their agenda too.

5. It has long been established that the best way to hide an actual conspiracy

is to derisively label those who accurately perceive the conspiracy as "conspiracy theorists".

It's how the apples ("9/11 was and remains a conspiracy perpetrated by persons still unknown&quot get lumped in with the oranges ("the electric universe theory disproves Einstein's theories of general and special relativity&quot in order to stifle discussion.

I always suspect the motives of those making the "conspiracy theory" claim, particularly when the idea of criminal conspiracy is actually credible, for exactly that reason.
