<<<Are you talking about this?>>>

That would be part of it. There were a lot of rumors floating around at the time that the redacted 28 pages referred to Saudi Arabia, spread by the US media, but anything official looked very similar to what you posted. If memory serves me correctly, Bob Graham was visiting with Pakistan's head of security at the same time that head of security was sending a wire to Atta for $100K. As close as I can tell, the only Middle East countries that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 are Afghanistan and Iraq.

One question no one seems to be asking is why all these known terrorists, or extremists, were allowed into the US in the first place. According to articles I've seen, there was something like 90 different investigations into the activities of al Qaida members inside the US prior to 9/11. IMO it's kind of hard to explain why we let them visit in the first place. While the Constitution goes a long way to protect the freedoms of American citizens, I don't know of any requirement to give unsavory radicals visas. It strikes me as pure madness to expend the kind of resources necessary to conduct 90 investigations when it would be far more practical to tell them to get back on their airplanes and get the hell out of Dodge.
