Bush is going to have to dump the Saudi Royal Family or be dumped.

I see that evil name is mentioned again in this report.

Let us hope 'the powers that be' do not notice.

Muslims don't listen to Muslims?

This guy must have skipped history and civics in high school. If I had been the FBI team leader at the situation...I would have tossed the guy outside onto the pavement and told him to hit the road. You work for the FBI not for the Muslims of America. We pay your salary and we have expectations. Either you meet them or you find new employment.

The Saudis recently convicted some terrorists
for the Cobart Towers bombing.

However they have refused to tell the USA
the names of those people convicted.

Wasn't there a report that those convicted were executed without giving representatives of the U.S. the opportunity to talk to them? Or am I thinking of something different?

"Muslims don't listen to other Muslims."

You miss the point--one which no one else seems to get either:

We need to learn Arabic!

And I'm not kidding. Think about it. Two Arab terrorists couild be sitting on a crowded bus anywhere in the US, having a loud, detailed conversation about how they are going to leave their backpack under a seat, exit the bus at the next stop, wait for it to move two blocks away, then detonate the bomb they left on the bus. And no one on the bus would understand a word of what they're saying.

Two impending lawsuits — one filed in Hillsborough County Court in Florida

There was a pulled thread titled 'bin Funding' of an article from the lawyer filling the Hillsborough lawsuit. Anyone know why that thread was pulled? Article content or someones posts?

Any threads or posts on the Chicago lawsuit mentioned?

I am not sure if they have been executed,
I don't think we even know what has happened to them.
However their names have not even been released,
much less have they been given a chance to talk.

Apparently Egypt has been cooperating well with the USA
and has released information that has forced the Saudis
to admit to what little has been made known.

I believe 2 incidents are being juxtaposed.

The Khobar Towers perps were executed after one of them gave a video confession broadcast on Saudi TV and an exceprt of it here on US channels. We were not allowed access to ANY of them, EVER.

Recent al-qaeda suspects are not going to be interrogated by US officers, according to the arabislamic press. arabnews.com had an article on its site.

More than that. Their NAMES and IDENTITIES are not being made known.

This won't help with the situation you mentioned, but there is a web site which will translate web pages from Arabic to English, http://www.ajeeb.com. The translations are very rough, much rougher than the babelfish or google, but they often reveal the gist of the web page (and the service is free).
