Obama weighs in on 28 classified pages of 9/11 report
I haven't read it. Somebody brought it up over breakfast but I wasn't paying attention." But this has been a process which we generally deal with through the intelligence community and Jim Clapper, our director of national intelligence, has been going through to make sure that whatever it is that is released is not gonna compromise some major national security interest of the United States. My understanding is that he's about to complete that process," Mr. Obama told Rose. "I have no fnorkin' idea what's in it." CBS' "60 Minutes" recently aired a story highlighting the 28 pages and it also featured interviews with current and former members of Congress, U.S. officials, members of the 9/11 Commission and families of the terrorist attacks. "Maybe you should ask them? I haven't seen it. I was watching something Michelle got from Netflix." Former Sen. Bob Graham helped author the report that the 28 pages appears in and while he declined to detail that section, he told "60 Minutes" that that portion could highlight possible Saudi support for the 9/11 hijackers. He also suggested that it sheds light on a network of people he believes supported the hijackers in the U.S. "There's a reason we call that sort of thing 'SECRET,' you know." House Minority Leader  Nancy San Fran NanPelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... , D-Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, is among a number of politicians who wants the 28 pages declassified. She's sure it would hurt George W. Bush's image. The president on Monday also weighed in on bipartisan legislation that is pending in the Senate that would allow victims of terror attacks on U.S. soil to sue foreign countries that might have provided support. It's a stupid idea whose time has come. Mr. Obama warned that it could have consequences that would, for instance, allow people in other countries to continually sue the U.S. Even B.O. can see the consequences. "This is a matter of how generally the United States approaches our interactions with other countries. If we open up the possibility that individuals and the United States can routinely start suing other governments, then we are also opening up the United States to being continually sued by individuals in other countries." Thereby costing the taxpayers mountains of money. Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... , a presidential candidate and senator, told "CBS This Morning" on Monday that he supports the legislation and  Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Abel P. Upshur... also expressed support for it. It's not their money, is it? Sanders also revealed that even though he has access to viewing the 28 pages, he hasn't read them. But he does have an opinion.
