Are you talking about this? Senator: At Least One Foreign Country Assisted the 9/11 Terrorists On 11 December 2002, the Senate and House Intelligence Committees released portions of their joint report on intelligence failures regarding the September 11 terrorist attacks. The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, on PBS, reported on the release that day. After asking her guests a bunch of predictable questions, and receiving predictable answers, guest host Gwen Ifill asked Senator Bob Graham, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, a good question and got an amazing answer.<<< GWEN IFILL: Senator Graham, are there elements in this report, which are classified that Americans should know about but can't? SEN. BOB GRAHAM: Yes, going back to your question about what was the greatest surprise. I agree with what Senator Shelby said the degree to which agencies were not communicating was certainly a surprise but also I was surprised at the evidence that there were foreign governments involved in facilitating the activities of at least some of the terrorists in the United States. I am stunned that we have not done a better job of pursuing that to determine if other terrorists received similar support and, even more important, if the infrastructure of a foreign government assisting terrorists still exists for the current generation of terrorists who are here planning the next plots. To me that is an extremely significant issue and most of that information is classified, I think overly-classified. I believe the American people should know the extent of the challenge that we face in terms of foreign government involvement. That would motivate the government to take action. GWEN IFILL: Are you suggesting that you are convinced that there was a state sponsor behind 9/11? SEN. BOB GRAHAM: I think there is very compelling evidence that at least some of the terrorists were assisted not just in financing -- although that was part of it -- by a sovereign foreign government and that we have been derelict in our duty to track that down, make the further case, or find the evidence that would indicate that that is not true and we can look for other reasons why the terrorists were able to function so effectively in the United States. GWEN IFILL: Do you think that will ever become public, which countries you're talking about? SEN. BOB GRAHAM: It will become public at some point when it's turned over to the archives, but that's 20 or 30 years from now. And, we need to have this information now because it's relevant to the threat that the people of the United States are facing today. thememoryhole.org we know it's not Iraq. GW/Rumsfeld have already admitted no 9/11 and Iraq link..

Re: If you live another 40 years, it will probably be declassified and published on the Internet by a bunch of white haired crackpots, where you'll be able to find out what was blacked out. I disagree. One doesn't need to live another 40 years to figure out the truth... Let's use our brains for a while. So let's assume that the country(-ies?) whose name was excised from the 911 report was indeed Saudi Arabia. Well, what's the fuss all about then? Saudi Arabia officials did help the 911 hijackers, really? And US officials are shit-scared to blurt it out to the American people?!? ROFL! But the American people has been brainwashed FOR DECADES into branding not just Saudi Arabia but EVERY Arab country as a terrorist hotbed! Therefore, if Saudi Arabia were involved it'd be no big deal! Nothing to write home about! Oh, but you'll retort that diplomatically speaking it would turn out to be such an embarrassment, wouldn't it? Hell, no! Not at all! After all, Osama Bin Laden himself was quite an "embarrassment" already! Bin Laden and his top lieutenants ARE SAUDI CITIZENS!! Even though Saudi Arabia stripped them of their nationality several years ago. Bottom line: any Saudi/Arab (semi-)official involvement in 911 could have been dealt with the same way Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda have been: you just turn the whole boodle into an "NGO plot", that is, a Non-Governmental Plot! You break down the terrorist cast into an informal network of rogues, of "Saudi renegades" who betrayed their own government --and Bob's your uncle! Thus there was no reason for the US administration to conceal any Saudi/Arab connection to 911 --all US spinmeisters had to do was to use the very same trick they pulled out with Bin Laden in the first place! All they had to do was to claim that Saudi "rogues" and "renegades" masterminded 911 and nobody would have called for nuking Riyadh... By the same token, we can easily understand that such an "NGO coverup" could never work in the case of an Israeli and/or Russian involvement --no one in the US would buy the story that some rogue Israeli/Russian operatives were involved in 911 without the consent of their respective intelligence hierarchy. But even if public opinion admitted that 911 was a rogue Israeli/Russian scheme, the (ideological) damage to America's Judeo-Protestant mythology would be beyond repair.... Hence the scrap below is, somehow, a self-destroying slur: © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com The U.S. intelligence community has excised significant details of the ties of the Saudi royal family to al-Qaida from a congressional report. Congressional sources said the 800-page report on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks was delayed for months over arguments with the Bush administration on details of Saudi involvement with al-Qaida. The administration did not want a companion report by the independent National Commission on Terrorist Attacks to reopen wounds with Riyadh amid its new cooperation with the U.S.-led war against Osama bin Laden's terror network, the sources said. The report, which could be released this week, will discuss how the United States underestimated Saudi links to al-Qaida. The 10-member commission reviewed the FBI failure to detect Saudi aid to two of the 19 al-Qaida hijackers in September 2001. [...] wnd.com If the above anti-Saudi slur is correct then it's a GRAVE breach of National Security and somebody, some whistleblower must be court-martialed for disclosing it!
