After the release of the "28 pages" this past summer, WhoWhatWhy was one of the few media outlets to point out that, in fact, many of the revelations from the report don't align with 9/11 Commission conclusions - conclusions which were supposed to have been reaffirmed by a 2015 9/11 Review Commission.
Instead, as we wrote in July, the 28 pages reveal:
Al Qaeda did not act alone in carrying out the 2001 terror attacks on America that killed nearly 3,000 people. Foreign government officials did indeed provide financial and logistical support to the hijackers. Leads to that effect were never fully investigated.
Now evidence has emerged that the government was still investigating some of those leads as late as 2012. The evidence comes from a heavily redacted four-page FBI report recently obtained by investigative journalist Dan Christensen of the independent news site Florida Bulldog. Christensen obtained the report as part of ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation seeking access to records of the 9/11 Review Commission.

IN SEPTEMBER, AFTER months of organizing via smuggled cellphones and outside go-betweens, prisoners across the country launched a nationwide strike to demand better working conditions at the numerous facilities that employ inmate labor for little or no pay.
The strike, which spread to dozens of institutions in 22 states, briefly called attention to a fact about prison labor that is well-understood in America's penal institutions but scarcely known to the general public: Inmates in America's state prisons - who make everything from license plates to college diploma covers - are not only excluded from the U.S. Constitution's prohibition on slave labor, but also exist largely outside the reach of federal safety regulations meant to ensure that Americans are not injured or killed on the job. Excluded from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration's mandate of protecting American workers, these inmates lack some of the most basic labor protections other workers take for granted.
