LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to CNN, the 28-page Commission report will be made public and will prove Saudi Arabia was not aware, nor did it condone the 9/11 attacks.
The pages, called the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, have not been publicly released since their creation in 2002.
The pages were redacted from the report, leaving grieving families in quiet anticipation for their eventual release.
CIA chief John Brennan reported the pages were part of a "preliminary" joint inquiry that tried to "pull together bits and pieces of information reporting about who was responsible for 9/11."
The 9/11 commission "looked very thoroughly at these allegations of Saudi involvement, Saudi government involvement and...their conclusion was that there was no evidence to indicate that the Saudi government as an institution -- or as senior Saudi officials individually -- had supported the 9/11 attacks," Brennan reported.
"I think it's good that (the pages) come out," he added, stating subsequent reviews and assessments "really have shown that it was very, very unfortunate that these attacks took place. But this was the work of al Qaeda, of Bin Lade, (Current al Qaeda leader Aymun al-Zawahiri), and others of that ilk."
Two months ago, Tim Roemer, a former 9/11 Commission member, demanded the classified pages be released to the public.
"I am strongly in favor of declassifying this information as quickly as possible," Roemer told a House committee. "The 9/11 families deserve it, the American people deserve it, and justice deserves it. We have the right to transparency and sunlight -- not the darkness."
In May, the House Foreign Affairs committee held a hearing to allow 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia.
With the country now officially absolved of blame, it is unlikely the bill, which has already been passed by the Senate, will survive.
