"Interesting question would be why it's been ignored for many, many administrations of both parties."

I'm mostly only concerned about why we let them off the hook AFTER 9-11 when we had them on the ropes, (the 'Airlift of Evil' allowing the escape of the ISI/Taliban/al Qaeda leadership back to safety in Pakistan from their encirclement at Kunduz in Afghanistan, etc.)

I already *know* why we supported (with Pakistan and the Saudis...) the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan against the Soviets (during the Carter & Reagan/Bush years).

But, WHY all references to the SAUDI role in terrorism and 9-11 were blacked-out of the 9-11 Commission's report --- I guess we'll have to wait on history to answer that one. (But I doubt many of us alive today will still be around by the time those files are unsealed.)
