Sen. Bob Graham + CIA Robert Baer: 9/11 Saudi Connection
September 2015

September 2015 "Judge Drops Saudi Arabia from 9/11 Suit Due To Lack of Evidence".
https://28pages.org/2015/10/01/judge-drops-saudi-arabia-from-911-suit-for-lack-of-evidence/
"The United States’s relationship with Saudi Arabia is complex and opaque. Suspicions persist that powerful Saudis funded Al Qaeda and some of the hijackers who carried out the 9/11 attacks. Senator Bob Graham, former chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee, and cochair of the Joint Congressional inquiry into the 9/11 terrorist attacks, visits to shed light on the 28 pages of the 9/11 report that remain classified. Joining him is former CIA veteran Robert Baer, who was portrayed by George Clooney in the movie Syriana."

Bob Graham has not read The 28 Pages

I never knew that Bob Graham had not read the 28 pages until he said it on stage.

What is also interesting is the audience... such as mentioning anthrax.

I don't know what to think about Robert Baer. He mentions the USS Liberty, but then again he says some "CIA type stuff" (non-answers, distractions, hyperbole possible lies, opaque).
Anyway, I am not going to loan him any money.

A Truth Movement telling lies is an obstacle to truth

TomT said..."I don't know what to think about Robert Baer. He mentions the USS Liberty, but then again he says some "CIA type stuff" (non-answers, distractions, hyperbole possible lies, opaque)."

"I don't know what to think about Robert Baer......... he says ...................hyperbole possible lies" --TomT

Then what should we think of TomT?

Because   TomT ..........says............ "actual definite lies" like...

"Bob Graham has not read The 28 Pages" -- TomT

Since he was the Chairman of the Inquiry that produced the report the 28 pages came from, he not only has read them, he had a hand in writing them.

"Bob Graham has not read The 28 Pages" -- TomT

"he said it on stage" - TomT

No, he did the opposite. He confirmed on stage that he had read them. Of corse he read them, he was the Chairman of the Committee that issued them.

Graham also said on stage even his daughter who has recently been elected to congress has read them......

I was wrong. Bob Graham helped to write the 28 pages.

When you watch this part of the video... https://youtu.be/-sxfGlyVWIA?t=31m7s ...
..the MC makes a comment:

"Senator, I may have mis-characterized...the fact that you... ...I thought you had read the pages since they were generated by your committee.
You ("haven't" or "have") read them, but like the priest in the confessional (chuckle) you can't tell us, but your daughters have read them and I understand that a lot of other Congress men and women have read them. And from what I have been told by the people who have read them, they say it has completely shocked them and changed their entire perspective on what has happened. Is that an accurate depiction of the impact that these 28 pages have had on those who have read them?"

My original take away from this part of the video was this interpretation of meaning from the words of the MC...
"Senator, I may have mis-characterized...the fact that you... ...I (had previously) thought you had read the pages since they were generated by your committee."
"You haven't read them, but like the priest in the confessional (chuckle) you can't tell us, BUT ...(others have read them)
".

The MC uses the words
"mis-characterized"
"I thought you had read the pages since they were generated by your committee"
"priest in the confessional"
"but"...others have read them

My interpretation at the time of hearing this segment startled me.
I was shocked to 'hear' that.
I had previously thought for sure that Bob Graham had read the pages. After all, he was a lead man on "The Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001" http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/4/2/d/highres_449053357.jpeg

So, in essence, I misinterpreted the words.

jimd3100,
Thanks for bringing this up again.
I was wrong about Bob Graham.
I have no problem being wrong.
(I missed lots of questions on tests in school despite being in the top 5% GPA...I was wrong there too.)
I have no problem being wrong, even though it seems that part of your intention is "to go after me" or "bait me" as seen on a number of other threads.
In fact, I am trying to prove myself wrong here... http://911blogger.com/news/2016-05-21/saudi-paper-us-carried-out-911-attacks#comment-263941 and have even emailed the source publication, but as yet have received no answer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tracked down a source video where Graham talks about involved with writing the 28 pages. (9:20 mark)
https://youtu.be/E0eGZoU1UiE?t=9m20s

What is also interesting in the video of Bob Graham being interviewed by Christian Economist, Jerry Robinson...
-- Bob Graham entirely rejects any "Truther" claims, such as explosives used on the buildings. He states he is a complete proponent of the official story.
-- The anecdote about Bob and his wife being detained and intimidated by the FBI in order to have him drop the idea of "calling for a release of the 28 pages".
-- A highly important question was asked by Jerry Robinson: "WHY NOW ?" and Bob makes a number of points which he sees as to "Why now?"
-- Mentioned throughout the interview are different influences regarding the release of the 28 pages. Examples include: "Bob's answer to 'Why Now?'" / "Saudi influence" / "Oil and Energy influence" / "National Security influence" / "Self protection of the PR of Intelligence Agencies" / "Military and Arms Industry influence" / "Self protection of those who covered up 9/11" /

Robert Baer - (I can have an opinion)

At the "Jewish Community Center of San Francisco" Robert Baer talks about his role as a CIA operative.
Without a doubt, Baer makes some good points about different issues, as he often does.

In the video, he gloats about his ability to "lie" and to "misdirect" his entire life, a master at deception while appearing affable.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahQthnTmlc0&feature=youtu.be&t=5m26s

His daughters were shocked to learn about his role in the CIA when he was on "60 Minutes".
https://youtu.be/ahQthnTmlc0?t=56m14s

What is also interesting is that Robert Baer gets lots of play in the Press and a lot of support.
His books... ...Interviews with the Press... ...His supposed acumen on Saudi Arabia and Arabic...(when he mentions the Royal Family being 60,000, I am a bit skeptical on that hyperbole)...
...The George Clooney / Matt Damon movie "Syriana" based on Robert Baer.
https://youtu.be/1ItRvvdtFJw?t=6s

I compare Robert Baer's limelight in the Press and book support to the support which Sibel Edmonds received.
Sibel was suppressed by the government and media. Publishers don't really want to deal with Sibel. Where is her movie with a big name star?

As a matter of speculation...
Robert Baer has a supposed acumen about Saudi Arabia.
If he was "still on a 'payroll'" (whether by favors or by cash), he could be an asset, a public celebrity in order to portray a certain agenda.

I can have an opinion.
It is still America.

jimd3100, Do you have a list of names / entities being sued?

Do you have a list of names / entities being sued?

Over the years the lawsuit has changed repeatedly.
Some defendants have been dropped because of diplomatic immunity or because of some judicial ruling.
http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=a081502saudisuit#a081502saudisuit

I am looking for a list of names and entities (both current and also the ones which were dropped from the lawsuit).

You seem to have a good grasp of things related to the 28 pages.
Can you help?
