If so, will I ever be able to read any of it?

It was very 'compassionate' to help the Saudis avoid the hassle of pointless interrogation. The GOP does have a heart.

forget it, they buried any details about that so deep that you'll need an archaeologist to find them

You are misinformed. The supposed special arrangements made to fly Saudis (esp. bin-Ladens) out of the country while there was still a lock-down, and without following the screening processes used for others is, quite, simply, FALSE. There were no such flights on Sept 12.

The "9/11 Commission"(official name "National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States") issued a report on what happened and later released more detailed notes of their evidence and findings. In case after case, it shows how the claims of many critics, esp. conspiracy theorists, are contrary to the known facts,

You can dig out the summary or whole of the report here:
http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/index.htm

On the specific claim you are raising, the commission concluded that there were no early flights, nor anything inappropriate in the screening process used when later allowing people to leave. Here's what the reports says (the question you raise has its own box half-way down the page):
http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report_Ch10.htm

For another brief discussion of this issue:

In fact, this is one of many urban legends about 9/11 that unfortunately continues to be spread when people don't know how to (or don't bother to) check up on it. I urge you, when you run across such claims (if you don't already know about something like the report cited above), just run a search at any of the major 'urban legend' web sites (like snopes.com), or see it searching for "urban legend" alongside a key expression --in this case something like "Saudi flights", and you'll likely find several articles that examine the claim and tell you how credible it is (usually "true", "false" or "undetermined".)

You mean the Bin Laden family? I'd like to see those myself. Especially on a no fly day.
