    This is not a conspiracy theory. CNN interviewed Rep. Steven Lynch tonight (Dec 16th 2013) about 28 pages blacked out of the initial 1500 page 9/11 report. It appears information has leaked out slowly over time and that Saudi government significantly funded the 9/11 attacks. If you recall, 15 of 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals. This is bi-partisan news as George W. Bush was behind the cover up which has been continued by President Obama. Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) introduced a House resolution earlier this month urging President Barack Obama to declassify a portion of a government report that they say could provide evidence the 9/11 hijackers had outside help.

    From CNN: Congressman Lynch was quoted "as having been 'absolutely shocked' by what he read, Lynch told Piers Morgan that the releasing of all the missing pages could result in long term benefits for the nation."

    Why are they shocked? This information has been out there for over a decade.

    Omar al-Bayoumi's wife had breast cancer.. and they had 4-5 kids. Haifa bent Faisal is the spouse of Bandar bin Sultan and she is chairperson of Zahra Breast Cancer Association.

    Dallah Avco (founded in 1975) is an aviation-services company with extensive contracts with the Saudi Ministry of Defense and Aviation, headed by Prince Sultan. A sister concern of Dallah Avco also conducts construction and maintenance contracts in the two holy cities of Makkah and Medina. Both are subsidiaries of Dallah Al-Baraka Group owned by Sheikh Saleh Abdullah Kamel.

    Once this story became known, it was thoroughly investigated. (Some of these investigations led to the Riggs Bank scandals of 2003 and 2004.) Although there are still many questions about al-Bayoumi and Basnan, the 9/11 Commission Report asserts, in footnote 122, that the hijackers al-Midhar and al-Hazmi did not receive any funding from them: "We have found no evidence that Saudi Princess Haifa al Faisal provided any funds to the conspiracy, either directly or indirectly.".[6] (The quote itself comes either from David D. Aufhauser of the U.S. Treasury Department, or Adam B. Drucker, of the FBI.)

    The Congressmen must be desperate for a headline..

    Saudi students in the US are always funded by the SAG. .. and its not unusual to receive money for medical treatment in the US.. Remember Bayoumi's wife was being treated for breast cancer and they had four children. I knew Prince Sultan and I know Haifa.. She is very involved in women's education and charity work... including a breast cancer foundation in KSA.

    Bob Graham is a man on a mission and somehow involved with the Motley law firm.. I know one of the lawyers well for the past 25 years.. They have spent millions trying to sue the Saudis. They don't know the turf.. or the customs or the people they are accusing. I tried to explain that to Jay in 2002 but All they could see was dollar signs and deep pockets... and they were already paying out big bucks for "research"... They have been screwed.

    I also wrote the President Bush years ago asking that he release the 28 redacted pages ..... That should have happened years ago.

    "We have found no evidence..." does not mean that no evidence exists.

    Princess Haifa was paying for medical treatment, rent and the up keep of the family.

    The Motley group was suing everybody.. royal family, the Bin Ladens, a dozen Banks and businesses.. NOW they re millions in debt.

    Make no mistake I agree that the 28 redacted pages should be published.

    It may have been found already, but it would be impolite to upset our Saudi 'friends' by publishing it, wouldn't it?

    It should come as no surprise that many of the 9/11 people were from Saudi Arabia. bin Laden is from there as is his family. He was barred from ever returning .He wanted to bring down the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and recruited heavily there. I'm sure he found no shortage of people who also hated the government.

    It has long been reported the Saudi Arabia was a signifcant source of funds for Al Quaida in those days.

    Saudi Arabia is Pakistan's biggest foreign aid donor as well. It's hard to imagine that a bit of that money didn't pay for Osama Bin Laden's hide-in-plain-sight exile.

    I have always believed that Saudi Arabia has used groups like Al Quida to conduct parts of its foreign policy.

    The Americans are not well liked in Saudi Arabia, a fact that is not helped by the economic dependence that Saudi Arabia has on high US energy consumption. This has been a symbiotic relationship for four decades, and is not much liked by either side, dispite the grins pasted on the faces of Saudi princes and Texas oil patch types (Bush, Baker, Cheney, etc).

    The terrorist threat was a way to offset the influence of US military and economic power.

    Before 9/11, the Saudi embassy in Washington ,which is walking distance from the State Department, was the only embassy in Washington that was guarded by the US Secret Service.

    I sincerely doubt that Saudi princes sat around and coordinated terrorist attacks. They almost certainly had little control over these groups. Indeed, the terrorists hated the Saudi princes and the secular western leaders like Hussein almost as much as they hated the Americans. They sold out to the infidels!

    Which is the problem when you try and use revolutionaries and radical zealots as an instrument of foreign policy.

    I doubt the US OR THE SAUDIS would tolerate people funding terrorists. It would defy 30 years of Saudi government policy. You realize al quada wants every Islamic government to burn - ESPECIALLY Saudi arabia's?

    I really hate to have to remind you of this, but the United States has actually funded several groups that were regarded as terrorists groups.

    We funded the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan, of whom Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar was only one.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Not at present, and certainly not for a long time. But Saudi money certainly found its way into Al Quida's pockets in the late 1990's/

    Of course, the same people who attacked the US on 9/11, also attacked Mecca in teh middle of the Haj.

    So?

    Yeah but he was fighting the Soviets then which made sense. Why would the Saudis fund a group whose express goal is to destroy it and attack its most powerful and possibly closest ally?

    That doesn't speak of a political conspiracy - that speaks of common corruption.

    Indeed, so the idea in the OP is utter nonsense

    Yes, I think it is largely nonsense.

    But there is little doubt that Saudi Arabia has been a big financer of the madrassa movment and did funnel money into Al Quida.

    This was a element of an asymetrical foreign policy. The Saudis almost undoubtedly helped finance these groups as a foil against Tehran and Moscow, for the same reasons the Americans did.

    Of course, we lived to rue the day!

    Tom, Pakistan has no schools.. Madrassa means school and most of them are small.. less than 20 students between the ages of 7 and 14.

    I lived there a couple of decades.. and I have been back for two week visits.. so have my brothers.

    If you want to talk with Americans who lived there 30-40 years, go to ARAMCO Annuitants .. there are thousands registered there.

    I still know people working in KSA.. some of them are third generation expats.. Americans are well-liked in Arabia.
