"Is that what the 9-11 Commission found?" Er... I believe that the 9-11 Commission's mandate only extended to examining certain matters up to the time of the 9-11 attacks. So, anything that happened AFTER the attacks, of course was not covered by their investigations AT ALL. (So, the war in Afghanistan against the Taliban and al Qaeda, including the so-called 'Airlift of Evil' back to Pakistan, and the war in Iraq, etc., were all not covered, not part of their purview.) On the other-hand, the Pakistani General's (leader of the ISI, Pak's CIA-equivalent) wiring of $100,000 to Mohammed Atta the week before the 9-11 attack WAS mentioned in the report... (despite what I'm sure was great pressure to keep it, and most anything else perceived as 'harmful to US/Pakistan relations, out of the report), and regular news reports from 9-12 reported his meetings at the CIA that day (before knowledge of the wire transfer became public). No doubt, since the wire transaction was widely reported in most every major media outlet of the world, in the weeks immediately after the attacks... it would have been, er... difficult to not even mention it at all in the Commission's report. :-) However, the ENTIRE CHAPTER devoted to the involvement of Saudi Arabia, and various Saudi Arabian persons, was --- and STILL IS --- blacked-out in the Commission's report. Make of that what you will....
