In December 2002, a joint Senate-House intelligence committee published its findings on the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which included evidence of possible #links between the government of #Saudi #Arabia and some of the 15 Saudis involved in the bombings of the #Pentagon and #Twin #Towers that cost nearly 3,000 American lives.

For national security reasons, 💥the 28 pages detailing that information were never published. 💥

But they may be shortly and revive yet another intense examination of alleged Saudi support for anti-American terrorism.

The famous #missing #pages, if now declassified, will likely put the former Saudi ambassador to Washington, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and his wife, Haifa, back in the limelight.

Wilson CenterSaudi Arabia Faces the Missing 28 PagesThe question of possible Saudi links to the 9/11 hijackers has haunted and soured relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia for 15 years. Now the probable release of 28 classified pages from a congressional probe plus pressure from Congress to strip the Saudi government of its sovereign immunity to allow 9/11 families to sue the kingdom in U.S. courts are forcing yet another examination of the Saudi role in the worst act of terrorism ever perpetuated on American soil.

One #Twin Was Hurt, the Other Was Not. Their Adult #MentalHealth Diverged.
A study of 25,252 adult "discordant twins,” in which only one suffered #abuse or #neglect, published in JAMA #Psychiatry, found those who reported one or more trauma in childhood — physical or emotional neglect or abuse, rape, sexual abuse, hate crimes or witnessing domestic violence — were 2.4 times as likely to be diagnosed with a psychiatric illness as those who did not.

Alone, the soul wanders, a solitary sprite,
In the vast expanse of day and night,
Like a solitary star in the twilight's gleam,
Aching for connection, like a lost sail at sea,
Seeking a kindred spirit, a twin that's meant to be.
Yearning for a mirrored soul, a kindred heart,
To dance in tandem, never to be torn apart,
A symphony of echoes, intertwining in grace,
To find in twinship, a sacred, hallowed space.
