Interesting article on WND. WND always supports the R's and usually creates wonderful

stories of the Democrats screwing up everything. But then there is this story placing the blame for 9/11 on the U.S. government who if everyone remembers was GWB. Okay this all fits in with the CT until a rightwing rag starts blaming the right wing. Someone explain what the heck just happened. News clip follows:

Saudi paper: U.S. carried out 9/11 attacks

While the families of 9/11 victims called for the declassification of evidence that members of the Saudi monarchy helped fund the attacks, a Saudi newspaper turned the table, blaming the United States for the worst terrorist massacre on its soil.

Saudi legal expert Katib Al-Shammari, writing in the London-based Saudi daily Al-Hayat on April 28, charged that the U.S. carried out the 9/11 attacks while placing blame on others, beginning with al-Qaida and the Taliban, then shifting to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and now Saudi Arabia.

“The U.S. created, in public opinion, an obscure enemy – terrorism – which became what American presidents blamed for all their mistakes,” Shammari wrote.

Excerpts of the article were translated from Arabic by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
