World Trade Center 9/11/01 attack

On the September 8th edition of Your Call, we’ll discuss the recently declassified documents about ties between the 9/11 hijackers and the Saudi Arabian government.

The White House says the 29 redacted pages “don’t shed any new light” on responsibility for the attacks, but victims’ families insists the 9/11 Commission did not fully investigate leads identified in the report.

What do the declassified documents reveal about what happened on 9/11?  Tweet your questions and comments to @yourcallradio and join us live at 10am with me, Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:

Kristen Breitweiser, 9/11 widow and activist whose story is told in the documentary 9/11 Press for Truth

Craig Unger, investigative journalist, contributing editor to Vanity Fair, and author of House of Bush, House of Saud
