For years Bob Graham, former Florida governor and chair of the U.S. Senate intelligence committee, has pushed for the release of a classified report on the 9/11 attacks.  Those 28 pages have now been released, but Graham says it’s just the first step.

“I’ve described it as being like pulling the cork out of the bottle," Graham says.  "You’re happy that you’ve opened the bottle, but we’ve got a lot of work to do with the liquid that’s inside that bottle."

Graham says numerous questions remain about how the hijackers were able to support themselves for so long in places like Florida, Virginia and New Jersey.  The papers detail alleged connections between the attackers and Saudi government officials.
