Inside the Saudi 9/11 coverup.
2013-12-16
[New York Post] After the 9/11 attacks, the public was told al Qaeda acted alone, with no state sponsors.
Per me, nearly all international terrorism is "state sponsored". What say you, Prince Bandar Bin Sultan Abdulaziz ?
But the White House never let it see an entire section of Congress’ investigative report on 9/11 dealing with “specific sources of foreign support” for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals. It was kept secret and remains so today.
Well, sort of.
President Bush inexplicably censored 28 full pages of the 800-page report. Text isnÂ’t just blacked-out here and there in this critical-yet-missing middle section. The pages are completely blank, except for dotted lines where an estimated 7,200 words once stood (this story by comparison is about 1,000 words).
Bush did it? Initialed the redactions did he ?
A pair of lawmakers who recently read the redacted portion say they are “absolutely shocked” at the level of foreign state involvement in the attacks.
Shocked I tell you! Shocked !
Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) can’t reveal the nation identified by it without violating federal law. So they’ve proposed Congress pass a resolution asking President Obama to declassify the entire 2002 report, “Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001.”
Good luck with that.
Some information already has leaked from the classified section, which is based on both CIA and FBI documents, and it points back to Saudi Arabia, a presumed ally.
Tell me again please, Saudi Arabia was the legal home of record for how many of the 9/11 bombers? Oh, there it is, 15 of 19. Thank you.
The Saudis deny any role in 9/11, but the CIA in one memo reportedly found “incontrovertible evidence” that Saudi government officials — not just wealthy Saudi hardliners, but high-level diplomats and intelligence officers employed by the kingdom — helped the hijackers both financially and logistically. The intelligence files cited in the report directly implicate the Saudi embassy in Washington and consulate in Los Angeles in the attacks, making 9/11 not just an act of terrorism, but an act of war.
The article continues, but as you might expect, it fails to get any better.

#10  Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) can't reveal the nation identified by it without violating federal law.

How about listing all the countries that weren't involved?

#9  Islam is, and has been, at war against everything not Islam, since its creation. We ignore that fact at our peril. Read Tom Kratmann's "Caliphate". While it's "fiction", there is a great deal of fact in it. It's well past time to fight back, and without both our hands tied behind us and one foot in a bucket. Forget the "civilized war" nonsense and crush the &&^$&%^$ back to being a few families huddled in caves, mostly without even fire. It's the only thing that will stop them.

#8  it is rather involved and would run into paragraphs

Mine is rather shorter: because that's what they are.

#7  Good topic for one of your excellent Burg editorials. I assure you, I will read it with great interest.

#6  The answer is why?

Perhaps one should do some research?

In all seriousness, I do have an answer. However, it is rather involved and would run into paragraphs. You would not read it. And in any case, you really don't want an answer.

#5  I believe there was a story in mid-2000's where an al-qaeda operative was detained but not cooperating. They bagged him and made him believe he was now in the custody of Saudi Arabia. He quickly cooperated and began giving cell phone numbers of a Saudi prince (who later died in the desert) and the head of Pakistan Air Force (who later died in a plane crash). Maybe the Rantburg historin can find the article.

#4  The answer is why?

For the Saudis because once we get alternative energy source they will become a footnote in history unless Islma is as strong as possible

About Pakistan because it is a mosaic of peoples who hate one another and whose only bond is Islam. So the more Islam, and the more fascist the better for Pakistan and its rulers.
