Former Defense Secretary expresses doubt declassified documents on 9/11 attacks will illuminate Saudi Arabia's role
CNN
Former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Leon Panetta on Saturday said he's "pleased" with President Joe Biden's decision to order a declassification review of documents related to the FBI's investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but he doubts victims' families will gain "satisfactory answers" about the role Saudi Arabia played.
"I think that the families of the victims are entitled to know the whole truth of what was involved and who was involved when it came to 9/11. I suspect that they're not going to get the kind of satisfactory answers about the role of Saudi Arabia with regards to this attack," Panetta told CNN's Jim Acosta on the 20th anniversary of the deadly attacks. But Panetta said the review and release of information is still consequential.More Related News
