Saudi Arabia and 9/11 ::
Read this yesterday:
Two of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers had a support network in the United States that included agents of the Saudi government, and the Bush administration and FBI blocked a congressional investigation into that relationship, Sen. Bob Graham wrote in a book to be released Tuesday.
...
Gen. Tommy Franks told [Graham] on Feb. 19, 2002, just four months after the invasion of Afghanistan, that many important resources—including the Predator drone aircraft crucial to the search for Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda leaders—were being shifted to prepare for a war against Iraq.
...
The administration and CIA also insisted that the details about the Saudi support network that benefited two hijackers be left out of the final congressional report, Graham complained.
Bush had concluded that ‘’a nation-state that had aided the terrorists should not be held publicly to account,‘’ Graham wrote. ``It was as if the president’s loyalty lay more with Saudi Arabia than with America’s safety.‘’
– Miami Herald: Graham book: Inquiry into 9/11, Saudi ties blocked
Just heard on the radio: A man with a British accent speaks over soothing muzak about how the final 9-11 commission report concluded that the terrorists had no links to the Saudi government. Paid for by the Saudi Arabian embassy. Why are they in aggressive PR damage-control mode?
