8. Was there ever an explanation why those Saudis
were able to fly out of the country when no planes were allowed to fly after the attack? It was just swept under the rug and forgotten.

10. as Fahrenheit 9/11 showed, Bandar Bin Laden went to the White House & smoked a cigar with B*sh and
Edited on Mon Sep-12-11 09:10 PM by Divine Discontent
sought the allowance of his family to be able to fly out on, I believe, 4 flights to go back to Saudi A.

Disgusting... Could have at least questioned all of the people, esp. the young men about all they knew about Osama. B*sh was so damned cozy with the Bin Ladens, and somehow, the GOP voters just ignored that... sick dumb bastards.

7. The Kingdom and the Towers -Anthony Summers & Robbyn Swan, Vanity Fair
The Kingdom and the Towers

Was there a foreign government behind the 9/11 attacks? A decade later, Americans still haven’t been given the whole story, while a key 28-page section of Congress’s Joint Inquiry report remains censored. Gathering years of leaks and leads, in an adaptation from their new book, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan examine the connections between Saudi Arabia and the hijackers (15 of whom were Saudi), the Bush White House’s decision to ignore or bury evidence, and the frustration of lead investigators—including 9/11-commission staffers, counterterrorism officials, and senators on both sides of the aisle.

BY ANTHONY SUMMERS AND ROBBYN SWAN
AUGUST 2011

Adapted from The Eleventh Day by Anthony Summers and Robynn Swan to be published this month by Ballantine Books; © 2011 by the authors.

For 10 years now, a major question about 9/11 has remained unresolved. It was, as 9/11-commission chairmen Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton recalled, “Had the hijackers received any support from foreign governments?” There was information that pointed to the answer, but the commissioners apparently deemed it too disquieting to share in full with the public.

The idea that al-Qaeda had not acted alone was there from the start. “The terrorists do not function in a vacuum,” Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told reporters the week after 9/11. “I know a lot, and what I have said, as clearly as I know how, is that states are supporting these people.” Pressed to elaborate, Rumsfeld was silent for a long moment. Then, saying it was a sensitive matter, he changed the subject.

-snip-

As for Saudi Arabia, America’s purported friend, you would have thought from the reaction of the Saudi ambassador, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, that the commission had found nothing dubious in his country’s role. “The clear statements by this independent, bipartisan commission,” he declared, “have debunked the myths that have cast fear and doubt over Saudi Arabia.” Yet no finding in the report categorically exonerated Saudi Arabia.

The commission’s decision as to what to say on the subject had been made amid discord and tension. Late one night in 2004, as last-minute changes to the report were being made, investigators who had worked on the Saudi angle received alarming news. Their team leader, Dietrich Snell, was at the office, closeted with executive director Philip Zelikow, making major changes to their material and removing key elements.

9. Dylan sounds like he wants to pursue this!
He told Graham let him know what develops. Graham said it was the president that can release the withheld info.
Damn...this is fucking huge.
Basically, Dylan said he will do his part too.
We need to find out how to contact him, his website and phone number to pursue this!
Flood him with encouragement. Could be dangerous for him though.
There should be a journalistic reward in store for anyone that has a spine and some integrity to get to the bottom of this. Actually,a "Patriot Award" is more like it.
What happened is a criminal cover-up and there are people with BLOOD on their hands.
