SEPTEMBER 11: WHAT YOU "OUGHT NOT TO KNOW"
by Greg Palast
On November 9, 2001, when you could still choke on the dust in the air near Ground Zero, BBC Television received a call in London from a top-level US intelligence agent. He was not happy. Shortly after George W. Bush took office, he told us reluctantly, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the FBI, "were told to back off the Saudis."

We knew that. In the newsroom, we had a document already in hand, marked, "SECRET" across the top and "199-I" - meaning this was a national security matter.

Why the fuck isn't this on US news media? Oh wait. Nevermind. Run by Repubs, gotcha.
