Saudis: No Jews Welcome Congressman Criticizes U.S. Policy Feb 26, 2004 6:42 pm US/Pacific WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. Anthony Weiner, a frequent critic of United States policy toward Saudi Arabia, said Thursday that the Middle East country's new visa policy outlined on a tourist Web site should be quickly condemned by American officials. The Web site, promoting a new Saudi program to offer tourist visas to encourage more foreign visitors, lists four groups not entitled to tourist visas, including "Jewish People." The Saudi government has traditionally only issued travel visas for employment, Hajj pilgrimages, and other visits with official sanction. In addition to Jews, the Web site by the Supreme Commission for Tourism also says it will refuse visas to anyone with an Israeli passport or a passport that has an Israeli stamp. "It is very difficult to see the Saudis as anything other than a backward country with backward ideals and this reaffirms that," said Weiner. "I think the administration should take a hard look at this Web site and decide whether a country that has these policies should be considered our ally." Weiner said the U.S. should close its doors to Saudis until they "clarify" their immigration policy. cbs2.com

You are absolutely right. Hard to say that this is just anti-Israel. Imagine if they posted "no African" or "no Catholics." I agree with you with respect to the Bush administration and family ties to Saudi Arabia. This is one of the things that I was alluding to in my posts about the 9/11 investigation. According to reports, the only deleted sections of the preliminary congressional report dealth with SA connections. I am surprised that Kerry has not seized on this. As I posted before, there is real stuff that needs to be investigated. Those who claim that Israel did 9/11 or that Bush knew about it and let it happen, etc., etc., etc., only keeps the real stuff from getting its due focus.
