In reply to the discussion: Michael Moore all over the NY Post 911 Saudi story. [View all]KoKo

Inside the Saudi 9/11 coverup
by Paul Sperry
Is the federal government protecting the Saudis? Case agents tell me they were repeatedly called off pursuing 9/11 leads back to the Saudi Embassy, which had curious sway over White House and FBI responses to the attacks.
Just days after Bush met with the Saudi ambassador in the White House, the FBI evacuated from the United States dozens of Saudi officials, as well as Osama bin Laden family members. Bandar made the request for escorts directly to FBI headquarters on Sept. 13, 2001 just hours after he met with the president. The two old family friends shared cigars on the Truman Balcony while discussing the attacks.

Astonishing as that sounds, few lawmakers in fact have bothered to read the classified section of arguably the most important investigation in US history.
-----
As the frustrated Joint Inquiry authors warned, in an overlooked addendum to their heavily redacted 2002 report, State-sponsored terrorism substantially increases the likelihood of successful and more lethal attacks within the United States.
Their findings must be released, even if they forever change US-Saudi relations. If an oil-rich foreign power was capable of orchestrating simultaneous bulls-eye hits on our centers of commerce and defense a dozen years ago, it may be able to pull off similarly devastating attacks today.
Members of Congress reluctant to read the full report ought to remember that the 9/11 assault missed its fourth target: them.
