    President Biden orders declassification review of documents related to Sept. 11 attacks.
    Reuters (Center) • Factual Grade 81% • 2 min read

    The order requires Attorney General Merrick Garland to make the declassified documents public over the next six months as it oversees "a declassification review of documents" related to the FBI probe. Last month, many families asked Biden to skip 20-year memorial events unless he declassified documents.
    ...
    Family members of 9/11 victims also asked a government watchdog on Thursday to investigate their suspicions that the FBI lied about evidence linking Saudi Arabia to the hijackers. Days later, the Justice Department said it decided to review earlier claims of privilege it had made about why it could not release some information requested by families.
    ...
    "As we near the 20th anniversary of that terrible day, the families of those who were killed, and all Americans, have a right to know the full story, and the passage of time has mitigated concerns over sources and methods," Representative Adam Schiff, chairman of the House of Representatives' Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said.

Context: Biden administration plans $65B investment for future pandemic preparedness.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - As we’ve seen, this impacts areas ranging from public health to our core economy. The tangential benefits of this approach shouldn’t be dismissed, either. Investments by the federal government in areas like mRNA vaccines, additional disease research and production capabilities will also apply to cancer outcomes and additional “spillover” benefits to other sectors which can put the United States in a leadership position for decades to come.


No - I’m supportive of spending money on pandemic preparedness but it should be...
