This is an area that needs some explanation. Clearly the Saudis have financed terror for years, largely under the impression that they could ensure their longevity in power. If there is a conspiracy that needs to be unmasked, it is why the US continues to hide their ties to those who support terrorist groups, particularly financial support. That said, I can't imagine that anyone connected to the Saudi government would actually go along with the 9/11 attacks. Why cut their own throat? It's just as foolish as those who argue that Israel had something to do with 9/11. The Saudis probably felt they could passively and financially support terror as they have gotten away with that for years but, as far as actively knowing about 9/11, that takes a stretch. I'm afraid that conspiracy dilution will continue to prevent real issues from being investigated, one of which is the subject of your post. The idiots who post about France, Russia, Israel, Mossad, Bush, Cheney, etc., provide noise that is pretty much ignored. However, there is so much effort now trying to place blame on Clinton or Bush or their subordinates, that the real issues may never really be addressed. Of course, Rice knew about OBL and his desires to attack the US. There is nothing that indicates anyone knew about WTC 9/11, not even one shred of evidence. There are thousands of threats. There are probably threats of nukes or suitcase nukes. Does that mean that someone "knows" it's going to happen? The Saudi issue is a key one as it undermines the war on terror. The Pakistan issue is also critical, and that ranges from actual harboring of terrorists to nuclear proliferation. Further, as Condi Rice testified, there are "systemic" issues, none of which seems to have been remedied, even by bureaucratic shuffling of players and massive appropriations. We need fundamental change and that has to happen in Congress with a re-evaluation of statutes that control the agencies and the relationships among them. A courageous administration is needed to start the ball rolling. Will it be Kerry who can do this or will he just coast along?

TIA now verifies flight of Saudis by Jean Heller St. Petersburg Times. Jun 9, 2004 Two days after the Sept. 11 attacks, with most of the nation's air traffic still grounded, a small jet landed at Tampa International Airport, picked up three young Saudi men and left. The men, one of them thought to be a member of the Saudi royal family, were accompanied by a former FBI agent and a former Tampa police officer on the flight to Lexington, Ky. The Saudis then took another flight out of the country. The two ex-officers returned to TIA a few hours later on the same plane. For nearly three years, White House, aviation and law enforcement officials have insisted the flight never took place and have denied published reports and widespread Internet speculation about its purpose. But now, at the request of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks, TIA officials have confirmed that the flight did take place and have supplied details. [continued ...] pqasb.pqarchiver.com
