Will more, suspected already, 'politics' play into the release, finally, into the abandoning of the missions and those sent to accomplish so extremely quickly after 9/11 and bringing some 72%plus support from the American public with that, of the British Iraq War Inquiry!
* Seven-year Chilcot inquiry is expected to finally publish its report this year
* But not before its findings are vetted by national security officials
* Reg Keys, whose son died in Iraq in 2003, warns that the vetting process will make the report a 'whitewash' unless it is overseen by a 'referee'
10 April 2016 - The long-awaited inquiry into the Iraq War is set to be vetted by British spies, it emerged today, sparking fears the published findings will be a 'whitewash'.
The Chilcot inquiry – launched seven years ago – is expected to finally disclose its findings in the summer – after June's EU referendum .
But there are now demands for it to be published next month after it was revealed that security officials will run their eyes over the report before it is released to the public.
According to reports in the Sunday Telegraph, a team of British security officials will launch a national security vetting process at the offices of the Chilcot inquiry next week.
Up to 150 former ministers, civil servants and military figures are expected to be criticised in the report but the news that the findings are set to be vetted has fuelled fears that some of the most embarrassing disclosures will be censored.
The team of security officials met with John Penrose, the minister in charge of the Government's response to the Chilcot inquiry.
Mr Penrose said the vetting process will only take two weeks to complete.
Reg Keys, whose 20-year-old son Lance Corporal Thomas Keys died in an ambush in Iraq in 2003, said an independent official must oversee the vetting process to ensure was not a 'whitewash'.
He told the Telegraph: 'There needs to be a referee almost – if someone says 'I am taking this out it needs to be shown to an independent person' otherwise it will be a whitewash, it will be sanitised.' read more>>>
And is it possible{?} important information, blocked by the Bush administration with help from the conservatives in and out of Congress at the time and since, about the 9/11 investigation be laid before the public eyes to vet!
Former Sen. Bob Graham and others urge the Obama administration to declassify redacted pages of a report that holds 9/11 secrets
10 April 2016 - In 10 days, President Obama will visit Saudi Arabia at a time of deep mistrust between the two allies, and lingering doubts about the Saudi commitment to fighting violent Islamic extremism.
It also comes at a time when the White House and intelligence officials are reviewing whether to declassify one of the country's most sensitive documents -- known as the "28 pages." They have to do with 9/11 and the possible existence of a Saudi support network for the hijackers while they were in the U.S.
For 13 years, the 28 pages have been locked away in a secret vault. Only a small group of people have ever seen them. Tonight, you will hear from some of the people who have read them and believe, along with the families of 9/11 victims that they should be declassified.
Bob Graham: I think it is implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom didn't speak English, most of whom had never been in the United States before, many of whom didn't have a high school education-- could've carried out such a complicated task without some support from within the United States.
Steve Kroft: And you believe that the 28 pages are crucial to this? Understand...
Bob Graham: I think they are a key part. read more>>>

The Royal United Services Institute said the UK could face a bill of nearly £65bn, once the cost of long-term care for injured veterans was factored in, with most of the money was spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The study, called Wars in Peace, said both conflicts were largely “strategic failures” for the UK, The Guardian reported."
"And when you add up to the Department of Defense, Department of State, CIA, Veterans Affairs, interest on debt, the number that strikes me the most about how much we're committed financially to these wars and to our current policies is we have spent $250 billion already just on interest payments on the debt we've incurred for the Iraq and Afghan wars." 26 September 2014
December 22 2014 - American taxpayers have shelled out roughly $1.6 trillion on war spending since 9/11, according to a new report from Congress’ nonpartisan research arm. That’s roughly $337 million a day -- or nearly a quarter million dollars a minute -- every single day for 13 years. read more>>>
Chris Hayes MSNBC: "If you can run a deficit to go to war, you can run a deficit to take care of the people who fought it" In response to Republican opposition to expanding Veterans' benefits on fiscal grounds
Neither of these recent wars have yet been paid for, let alone the results from, including the long ignored or outright denied existence of, till this Administrations Cabinet and Gen Shinseki, only Government branch consistent for the past six years, issues! As well as under deficits most of the, grossly under funded, VA budget is still borrowed thus added, problem creating, costs that shouldn't exist!
