ends with the sentence:
"The report added to suspicions about a Saudi role in the hijacking plot"

um..... 15 out of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens and there are only "suspicions" of a Saudi role? :wtf:

1. They mean 'Saudi government', I think

Hard to tell, since there's so little information in that article.

2. Fucking ridiculous, but expected. The Times runs on pg. A18 a 5-graph AP

story in the bottom right corner. If they had wanted to bury it any more than they did, they would have had to throw dirt on top of it. The weak-kneed Times, always deathly afraid of being called liberal-biased, couldn't even bother to assign one of its own reporters to this.

The former head of the Senate Intelligence Committee makes charges against the President that border on treason, and barely a peep from the paper of record. Yet when some yahoos from Arkansas accused the President of improprieties in some backwoods real estate deal more than a decade before he took office, it was always on the Times' front page. That's Liberal Bias for ya'.
