Was the Saudi Government Involved in the 9/11 Terror Attacks?
Former lawmakers again stir suspicions that the hijackers had help. The evidence is murky, but critics believe that American investigators have not dug hard enough.
Since 2002, when former senator Bob Graham led the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry (JICI) into the 9/11 attacks, he has insisted that members of the Saudi government played a role. But he’s had a hard time getting others to listen.
“There’s no question in my mind that the Saudi government was involved in 9/11,” the Florida Democrat tells The Daily Beast. “But there’s still so much we don’t know. Unfortunately, many Americans seem to have lost interest.”
The issue was revived last month when The New York Times reported that Graham and former senator Bob Kerrey, a Democrat from Nebraska, had given affidavits in an ongoing lawsuit against Saudi Arabia over compensation for families of the 9/11 victims. “I am convinced that there was a direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the September 11th attacks and the government of Saudi Arabia,” Graham said in the affidavit. In a separate affidavit, Kerrey said, “Evidence relating to the plausible involvement of possible Saudi government agents in the September 11th attacks has never been fully pursued.”
I would find it very hard to believe that top government officials were involved. I remember Saudi Royal family members being evacuated from the U. S. a day or two after the event based on U. S. popular opinion that was obviously very negative toward Islamic adherents at that time.
If the government was involved, it would seem those family members would not have been in the U. S.
At the end of the day, if there was Saudi government involvement, I want to know about it just like everyone else.
I am not here to shield any entity from the penalties for wrongdoing. There is a lot of negative talk on the forum concerning Saudi Arabia, and I try to balance that out a bit. It’s my personal opinion that folks dislike anything Islam (which I identify with myself), and they go a bit overboard concerning Saudi Arabia.
At any rate, thanks for your post.
Be very careful about signing on to anything Democrats are involved in. I trust them far less than just about any other entity.
Our enemies hate us for reasons. They may be idiotic reasons. The Democrats hate our nation, knowing damn well what the comparisons are between us and Islam.
Look at their top dog, and yet they don’t beat an eye-lash.
