9/11 Commissioner and Co-Chair of Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 Say in Sworn Declarations that Saudi Government Linked to 9/11
Two former senators – one a 9/11 Commissioner, the other the co-chair of the joint Congressional inquiry into 9/11 – state in sworn declarations that the Saudi government backed the 9/11 attack.
The New York Times reports:
For more than a decade, questions have lingered about the possible role of the Saudi government in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, even as the royal kingdom has made itself a crucial counterterrorism partner in the eyes of American diplomats.
Now, in sworn statements that seem likely to reignite the debate, two former senators who were privy to top secret information on the Saudis’ activities say they believe that the Saudi government might have played a direct role in the terrorist attacks.
“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,” former Senator Bob Graham, Democrat of Florida, said in an affidavit filed as part of a lawsuit brought against the Saudi government and dozens of institutions in the country by families of Sept. 11 victims and others. Mr. Graham led a joint 2002 Congressional inquiry into the attacks.
As we noted last year:
The Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 and former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob Graham, previously stated that an FBI informant had hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and that, when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House (confirmed here).
Today, Graham called for a new 9/11 investigation. As Raw Story notes:
Graham on Monday called on the U.S. government to reopen its investigation into 9/11 after a report found that links between Saudi Arabia and the hijackers were never disclosed by the FBI to the 2002 joint Congressional intelligence committee investigating the attacks.
“In the final report of the congressional inquiry, there was a chapter related primarily to the Saudi role in 9/11 that was totally censored, every word of the chapter has been withheld from the public,” Graham said on MSNBC’s The Dylan Ratigan Show.
“Some of the other questions we ought to be asking are if we know that the Saudis who lived in San Diego and now apparently in Sarasota received substantial assistance, what about the Saudis who lived in Phoenix, Arizona? Or Arlington, Virginia? … What was happening in those places?”
“I believe these are questions for which there are definitive answers, but the American people and largely their elected representatives have been denied that information.”
The Times continues:
His former Senate colleague, Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, a Democrat who served on the separate 9/11 Commission, said in a sworn affidavit of his own in the case that “significant questions remain unanswered” about the role of Saudi institutions. “Evidence relating to the plausible involvement of possible Saudi government agents in the September 11th attacks has never been fully pursued,” Mr. Kerrey said.
Their affidavits, which were filed on Friday and have not previously been disclosed, are part of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit that has wound its way through federal courts since 2002. An appellate court, reversing an earlier decision, said in November that foreign nations were not immune to lawsuits under certain terrorism claims, clearing the way for parts of the Saudi case to be reheard in United States District Court in Manhattan.
***
The Saudis are seeking to have the case dismissed in part because they say American inquiries — including those in which Mr. Graham and Mr. Kerrey took part — have essentially exonerated them. A recent court filing by the Saudis prominently cited the 9/11 Commission’s “exhaustive” final report, which “found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi individuals funded” Al Qaeda.
But Mr. Kerrey and Mr. Graham said that the findings should not be seen as an exoneration and that many important questions about the Saudis’ role had never been fully examined, partly because their panels simply did not have the time or resources given their wider scope.
Terry Strada of New Vernon, N.J., whose husband died in the World Trade Center, said it was “so absurd that it’s laughable” for the Saudis to claim that the federal inquiries had exonerated them.
Unanswered questions include the work of a number of Saudi-sponsored charities with financial links to Al Qaeda, as well as the role of a Saudi citizen living in San Diego at the time of the attacks, Omar al-Bayoumi, who had ties to two of the hijackers and to Saudi officials, Mr. Graham said in his affidavit.
Still, Washington has continued to stand behind Saudi Arabia publicly, with the Justice Department joining the kingdom in trying to have the lawsuits thrown out of court on the grounds that the Saudis are protected by international immunity.
As we’ve repeatedly noted:
9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn’t have access . . . .” He also says that it might take “a permanent 9/11 commission” to end the remaining mysteries of September 11
Indeed, while everyone remembers the false allegations about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, most forget that the other primary justification for the war was the false linkage between Iraq and 9/11.
The failure to really investigate 9/11 led us into a disastrous war … which has virtually bankrupted our country.
Unfortunately, the endless wars in the Middle East and North Africa are about oil, not national security (and see this).
So we have idiots like MSNBC talking head Joe Scarborough saying that – even if the Saudi government backed the 9/11 attacks – Saudi oil is too important to do anything about it:

Well,Duh...!
Of coarse they were.
Only took them a mother fucking decade.
Hey, it took 60 years to find out the Battle ship Maine was sunk by a coal dust exjplosion.
90 years to find out the Lusitainia exjploded and sank in minutes from all the ammo she was carrying, not the one torpedo that hit her.
Pearl Harbor is still being examined, give that a few more decades.
No we already know that Pearl Harbor was instigated by the British and American military with the complicity of FDR. See Day of Deceit by Stinnett
Fucking Saudi's, talk about spitting in our faces, and we protect these MTF.
There's no honor among thieves. They want all the oil in the Middle East and that includes the Saudi oil. It's more than likely that the Saudis provided financing, phony passports, and logistical support. They have long been allied to the Bush family. But this was a cooperative endeavor involving intelligence agencies from the US, Israel, Britain, Saudi Arabia, and possibly certain European countries like France.
the only problem i have is that the saudis lacked the motives whereas israel did not. that and these statements are coming from graham and kerrey, two of the most staunch defenders of israel.
How about this scenario?
The neo-cons in control were looking for an excuse to invade Iraq and become involved militarily in the ME. CHECK
Israel probably wanted this, too, as did the Saudi's, who viewed both Iran and Iraq as potential threats. CHECK
Just because the Saudi's were involved does not mean the Isrealis were not. CHECK
In my mind, there could easily be collusion between all 3. The Bush family has been deeply intertwined with the House of Saud for decades, and the neo-cons equally involved with Israel.
It's all about oil and money. Certainly NOT about being patriotic Americans, defending the Constitution, protecting our borders, or any of the other flag-drapped bullshit excuses we were given.
Homeland Security....the first time I heard those 2 words a shiver went down my spine as I immediately thought about Nazi Germany
http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/images/blbushabdullahhands.htm
"the saudis lacked the motives"...Uh, rilly?
Hard to know where to start with wilful stupidity like this. OK, the intellectual guidance for Al Qaeda came from a Wahhabi cleric who was so disgusted by the decadence he witnessed in the US that he spawned a movement to destroy it....this would be the decadence he witnessed in Boston in 1948.
Better yet, go to Saudi Arabia (like I have) and spout any nonsense that comes to your tiny fucking mind and see how you go.
When I came back from there for the last time I was a real conversation stopper. People expected me to talk of gleaming skyscrapers and exotic oases, belly dancers and Arab hospitality...all I described was what I saw...which is that they are unreconstructed Nazis, and even you might remember which side they were all on in the big one ...WW2? Go fuck yourself for your ignorance.
amazing list of facts there
Just because you don't know what their motives may have been, if any, does not mean they had no motives.
At some level the Saudi princes and the Zionists may be closer than most people think.
True FeraSerf... If the Saudi Gov relies on US military to stay in power then they could indeed be part of the US/ISRAEL forces and agenda in the ME.. This is not hard to believe in the slightest..
The enemy of my enemy..
And only days away from the beginning of the AIPAC conference in Washington DC (March 4-6).
How convenient huh?

Solving 9-11
The Deception That Changed The World
Christopher Bollyn
http://www.bollyn.com/public/Solving_9-11_-_The_Deception_That_Changed_The_World.pdf
9-11 was a very sophisticated operation.
9-11 required the "fixed frame" of a state intelligence organization. It was carefully planned years in advance and carried out for one strategic purpose: to kick-start the Zionist-planned "War of Terror."Christopher Bollyn solved 9/11, and Israel did it.
"I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College, at the Headquarters Marine Corps, and I have made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100 percent certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation. Period . . . And the Zionists are playing this as truly an all-or-nothing exercise, because if they lose this one, if the American people ever realize what happened, they're done.""

Oh he solved it, well then, give us the names of the people who did the controlled demolition of Building 7. After all, it's solved and let's start with the people who walked into Building 7 and put in the explosives.
Read the pdf!
He does give you the names!

"...Rarely remarked upon in discussion of this kind is that the Israeli right's goals in the Middle East have long been public knowledge, promoted by Israeli and dual-citizenship Neocons for some time. In a 1982 article in the Israeli journal Kivunim, the journal of the Department of Information of the World Zionist Organization, Israeli scholar Oded Yinon, formerly attached to the Foreign Ministry, reiterates the old idea that Israel's best course for long-term safety, prosperity, and possible expansion lay in its neighbors being broken up into many weaker, squabbling states. Yinon envisioned Iraq broken into a Shiite south, a Sunni middle, and a Kurdish north, with other countries thereby destabilized along the same lines. Although the invasion of Iraq has been called an ongoing disaster for America, with troops unable to withdraw due to the threat of full-blown civil war, by another yardstick the invasion has been a resounding success. Sabrosky says that Iraq was never a threat to America, but it was certainly a threat to Israel, to the point of SCUD missiles already having been launched into Tel Aviv by Saddam during the first Gulf War..."
Many thanks to Dr. Alan Sabrosky.
... Iraq was never a threat to America, but it was certainly a threat to Israel, to the point of SCUD missiles already having been launched into Tel Aviv by Saddam during the first Gulf War..."
Those politicians have zero credibility. The NY Times, less than zero credibility. On top of that there's a news clip of Miss Zbig Junior pumping the story. All adds up to complete bullshit.
Documentary on how the JEWS DID 9/11:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD_vwzjdTi4
Saudies certainly did not have the power to plant explosives throughout the three buildings, or to order the stand-down and cover-up. Jews do... and they did.
saudi's did 9/11? more disinfo. rogue elements of our government in conjunction with the mossad carried out 9/11.
classic false flag. but the sheep will continue thinking that a few dudes who couldnt fly cessnas flew large boeing 757s at high rates of speed into precision targets, all the while fooling a $40 billion dollar NORAD air defense system, and this whole thing was planned by a dude living in a cave on the other side of the planet. Oh and the laws of thermodynamics failed that day and thick vertical steel columns with a melting point of 2700 degrees farhenheit melted in 1200 degree fire. (ignore the countless dust samples taken by scientists that found thermite enriched with silicon for more explosivity)
the official story of 9/11 is one crazy fucking conspiracy theory. but everybody believes it.
And an invisible plane hit the pentagon, have you ever seen video footage of a plane hitting the most defended building in the world that is surrounded by cameras? oh yea, and that shanksville PA plane crash was unique in that there WAS NO FUCKING PLANE there. and WTC7 just decided to fall in on itself that day too.
The average 'Merican is fucking retarded for believing this shit. now they will try to steer their hatred toward the saudi's for a future war
all the while fooling a $40 billion dollar NORAD air defense system,
no, not quite. their procedures were changed on june 1, 2001. they could only take action on orders of the secretary of defense. their procedures have since been changed back to the old way.
