Is there a smoking gun in the 28 pages that were redacted from the congressional joint inquiry on intelligence from before and after the 9/11 attacks that links the Saudi Arabian government to the attacks? A co-chair of that inquiry, former Forida Sen. Bob Graham thinks there is one. He also says the link goes all the way to the top of the Saudi government and that the governments funding of terrorist groups continues to this day.
Graham, who has been advocating for the release of those pages for over a decade, sat down with Yahoo News host Stephanie Sy on Yahoo News Live to discuss when that might happen, the Senates passage of a bill allowing families of 9/11 victims to sue the Saudi government and what he says are the Saudi governments continued links to terrorism.
On the 28 pages, he said: I think they're a smoking gun. I think the linkages are so multiple and strong and reinforcing that its hard to come away from reading all this material and not feel that there was a support network and that support network came from Saudi Arabia.
He said it goes beyond the pages though: They will also open the path to other materials. There are thousands of pages of documents, which speak to the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the 19 hijackers. He continued, Could those 19 people have carried out a plot as complex as 9/11 while maintaining anonymity in some cases for more than a year and a half while they were in the United States without having some support?...snip
Bob better be careful. The last guy that fingered the Saudi's was found with a bullet in his head.
Saudi Connection to the 9/11 Hijackers
The hijackers training records from several U.S. flight schools indicate that they were marginal pilots, at best, even in single-engine airplanes. In early 2000, three of the pilot/hijackers are heavily documented at a small flight school near Venice, Florida, while the fourth attended schools in Arizona and California. This would account for the basic flight training of the pilots but in no way can explain the expert level of airmanship required for the 911 hit...snip more: http://thebigbamboozle.tumblr.com/post/41340532273/saudi-connection-to-the-911-hijackers
