Thirteen years since September 11, 2001, some revelations of a joint congressional inquiry into the 9/11 attacks remain classified. But some lawmakers argue the secret pages reveal little about national security and a great deal about Saudi Arabia's role in the attacks. Lawrence Wright, whose article “The Twenty-Eight Pages” appears in The New Yorker, talks to Jeffrey Brown.

Classified pages of a 9/11 report may implicate key ally


Look like the funding to some of the hijackers directly implicates the state of Saudi Arabia. These documents have been withheld for the public some time, because Saudi Arabia is a "ally" in the War on Terror.
 
Is anyone really suprised of this?

Half the terror organisations of the world are proably funded by these sand savages.
 
Something I have said on this forum numerous times. To include how they funded and armed al Qaeda even back in Somalia when I was there, and many other places around the world. It's the worst kept secret I know of.

They only give lip service when it comes to the War on Terror. But wait!? Why the **** are we "buddy buddy" with them... Oh wait!

Actually they are pretty good at fighting the War on Terror.... on the Arabian Penninsula. The Saudi Royal Family knows full well that it is marked for extermination by these guys.

I think, however, that we can pretty much all agree that they see "exporting the crazies to become someone else's problem" as a legitimate strategy in their own WoT.

I think the Saudis are substantial players/investors in the Carlyle Group.
 
I doubt there's much evidence that Saudi government funded anti-American terrorists.

It depends upon how well the record has been sanitized, how much evidence destroyed.

I doubt any of that info ever existed. You can't keep anything secret now-a-days.

What we're seeing, are Saudis participating in and supporting terrorism, not the Saudi government. Where the confusion comes in, I'm not sure.

And, along with Qatar, are funding extremists in Syria.

Saudi Arabia is said to be the world's largest source of funds for Salafi jihadist terrorist militant groups, such as al-Qaeda, the Afghan Taliban, the Pakistan Taliban, ISIS and Lashkar-e-Taiba in South Asia, and donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide, according to Hillary Clinton.[78] According to a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state, "Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups."[79]

To really combat terror, end support for Saudi Arabia
Ramped up rhetoric on security makes no sense so long as the west cosies up to dictatorships that support fundamentalism.

Like I said, there's no real evidence that Saudi Arabia's official policy to fund terrorist groups. That idea has been propagandized by the America haters since September 12, 2001.

Thanks to the FOIA we have in our hands a declassified paper documenting what you are so afraid to admit, sorry for you fella.

Some rebuttal to the documented and sourced articles provided you that you closed your eyes to, plugged your ears and turned away from, it doesn't serve you're, hanging by your fingernails extreme right edge meme. Stay in the darkness apdst, it's safer for you there anyway.

There's nothing in any of those links that proves that the Saudi government funds any jihadist orginization.

I've heard disparaging generalizations about Arabs before but never this one.

Yes, there most certainly is, there and in the docs secured through the FOIA. And you read none of it, because you don't want that to be exposed. Stick with your cliff hanger meme.

That could become a thing of the past if lawmakers allow US oil resources to be utilized. Notice the price of gas has gone down even with the turbulance in the ME. Its because of the oil the US is producing from fracking.

I've always been kind of struck by the cozy relationship with the bin Laden family, and how they were never questioned about Osama, and how Saudi's were the only civilians to get air clearance...

What's that all about? Michael Moore says its about oil money and the Bushes, but I suspect something more sinister

From what I know about state sponsored terrorism, Qatar and Iran are probably the world's worst.

Iran isn't an American allie, so the people who hate America are going to defend them.

Unfortunately, it isn't some sinister plot, coercion or conspiracy. It's just willful ignorance, by ignoring truth, to allow the US to have influence in the area. Not so much oil, as influence. The US ignores a lot of bad things around the world to maintain influence. Saudi Arabia is no different. That influence translates to airfields, shipping security and a military presence in the region. The same reason we ignore the Bahrainis, the Yemenis and all the others in that region that allow us influence.

It's basic International Relations. Moore sees profit as the motive behind every bad thing that happens. It isn't that simple.

It's true that I can't keep anything secret now-a-days, but there are people in the world who do one helluvalot better at it than I am.

Some folks can keep things secret, though the term is a relative one and not absolute. Otherwise, you're right about just who in Saudi society might be playing in the weapons trade.
