The former Senators Bob Graham of Florida and Bob Kerrey of Nebraska and the former Navy secretary John Lehman believe the Saudi role in the 9/11 plot has never been adequately examined and they demand the release of 28 pages of the congressional report that explored Saudi connections and remain classified . Both the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama have refused to declassify the 28 pages on grounds of " national security " , but as Graham argues the opposite is true the real " threat to national security is non-disclosure " : The Saudis know what they did and the U.S. knows what they did , and when the U.S. government takes a position of passivity , or actively shuts down inquiry , that sends a message to the Saudis . " They have continued , maybe accelerated their support for the most extreme form of Islam known as Wahhabism " he stated , arguing that both al Qaeda and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are " a creation of Saudi Arabia . " On January 7 , 2015 , Graham , Congressmen Walter Jones and Stephen F. Lynch , and members of the 9/11 families including Terry Strada , national co-chair of the ″ 9/11 Families and Survivors United for Justice Against Terrorism ″ held a press conference on Capitol Hill announcing the reintroduction of the resolution calling for the declassification of the 28 pages . Graham said that those pages " point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as the principal financier " of the 9/11 hijackers : " This may seem stale to some but it 's as current as the headlines we see today , " referring to the terrorist attack on a satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris
