It seems that even the Saudis might want the 9-11 report released in full. Gosh, does that mean that they got to see what we got to pay for? How secure are the contents of the report now if the Saudi's have seen it anyhow? Not like they don't have at least one or two "double agents" working there, I'm sure. I would be shocked if all the entire contents were not already being read where ever ObL is now.
Much of the new allegations is the result of brief investigations conducted by the Sept. 11 inquiry staff. House and Senate members of the inquiry have repeatedly said they do not know whether the allegations are true, and have criticized the FBI in particular for not pursuing them more quickly, especially the case of a network of businessmen and religious figures in San Diego who provided some of the hijackers with financial and logistical support.
But the report holds out the possibility that the Saudi-related allegations "could reveal legitimate, and innocent, explanations for these associations."
The report makes no accusation that it was ever the policy of the Saudi government to support terrorism. Rather, the questionable activity involved Saudi citizens, some of whom worked for the Saudi government.
The article cited here goes to great length to make it sound as though the Saudi's have not seen the report. Yeah. Right.
Bridge and swamp land for sale. Cheap. The only reason they're coming over here is to turn up the heat on their bought-and-paid for property at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Or maybe I need the double-thickness tin-foil hat. Nope, just checked my mind-ray detector...I'm safe.

I am reminded of the song of the contraceptive salesman in the Middle East:
"I sell Sheiks in Araby, ...."
