    How the BCE Covered Up The Saudi Connection to 9/11

    How the Bush Administration Covered Up the Saudi Connection to 9/11

    James Ridgeway
    AlterNet
    September 16, 2014

    In his New Yorker article, posted on the magazine’s web site last week, Lawrence Wright tells how the Bush administration deleted 28 pages in the 2002 report of the Joint Congressional Inquiry on 911 probably because they describe in detail the Saudi connection to the Al Qaeda attack and Saudi financing of its operatives in the United States—people who knew two of the hijackers, and may well have been used as conduits for Saudi cash. Some of the money may have come from the royal family through a charity.

    In removing the 28 pages Bush said the publication of the information would damage American intelligence operations. The Saudis deny all this.

    In fact no one would be talking about it now were it not for families of victims of the attack and insurers, who are suing the Saudis.

    Wright goes on to report:

    “There’s nothing in it about national security,” Walter Jones, a Republican congressman from North Carolina who has read the missing pages, contends. “It’s about the Bush Administration and its relationship with the Saudis.” Stephen Lynch, a Massachusetts Democrat, told me that the document is “stunning in its clarity,” and that it offers direct evidence of complicity on the part of certain Saudi individuals and entities in Al Qaeda’s attack on America. “Those twenty-eight pages tell a story that has been completely removed from the 9/11 Report,” Lynch maintains. Another congressman who has read the document said that the evidence of Saudi government support for the 9/11 hijacking is “very disturbing,” and that “the real question is whether it was sanctioned at the royal-family level or beneath that, and whether these leads were followed through.” Now, in a rare example of bipartisanship, Jones and Lynch have co-sponsored a resolution requesting that the Obama Administration declassify the pages.

    But there are other questions here, and they involve the story of how the Bush administration sought to suppress evidence that would reveal how much it knew of the attack plot —and didn’t do anything to stop it.

    To resume the story briefly:

    Two of the flight 77 hijackers—Khalid al-Mihdhar, a Saudi who fought for al-Qaeda in Bosnia and Chechyna, and Nawaf al Hazmi, another Saudi with battle experience in Bosnia, Chechyna and Afghanistan, met at an al-Qaeda strategy meeting in Kuala Lumpur in January, 2000. The CIA had asked the Malaysian intelligence service to conduct surveillance, but it proved not to be very effective. The two left that meeting, went to the airport and boarded a commercial flight to Bankok on January 8, and subsequently took a United Airlines flight from Bangkok to Los Angeles, landing without incident and passing through US immigration.

    By that time, according to the Joint Inquiry Report, “the CIA and NSA had sufficient information available concerning future hijackers al-Midhar and al-Hamzi to connect them to Usama Bin Laden, the East Africa embassy bombing and the USS Cole attack…and they should have been placed on the State Department TIPOFF watch-list and the INS and Customs watch-list.’’

    By July 2001, analysts operating on their own confirmed the two had landed in the US and notified the FBI. The Bureau alerted its offices in New York, but not in Los Angeles or San Diego. And no one thought to tell the FAA, INS or Customs Service not to let these men fly on planes.

    Once in the US, the two hijackers passed unnoticed beneath noses of the CIA and FBI. They went from Los Angeles to San Diego, where they rented an apartment, got Social Security cards, drivers licenses, credit cards and a car. They soon began flight training.

    The two had contact with a radical iman, who the FBI was watching and with a leader in the local Saudi community who was believed to be a Saudi financial conduit to the hijackers.

    Perhaps most significant they had contact with a local FBI informant, in fact, living in his house. This man was charged by the FBI with keeping tabs on the local Saudi community. “He stayed at the home of a source of ours,’’ an FBI counterterrorism official later told James Bamford, author of the book A Pretext for War. “Had we known about them we would have followed them and said, ‘Hey,these guys are going to aviation school.’’’

    The Joint Inquiry concluded that the informants contacts with the hijackers, had they been followed up, would have given the FBI’s San Diego office the best chance to unravel the plot. Later efforts by the Joint Inquiry to interview the informant were thwarted by the FBI and Justice Department.

    According to former Florida Senator Bob Graham, in his bookIntelligence Matters, when the Joint Inquiry asked the FBI for all its files on the informer, the members were denied access to him and when the Joint Inquiry subpoened him, the FBI stalled. Graham called a meeting with CIA director George Tenet, FBI director Robert Mueller and Attorney General John Ashcroft. They suggested Graham question the informant in writing. But by the time the FBI sent out their questions, the informant had retained a top lawyer, a former employee of the Justice Department. The lawyer demanded immunity for the informant before testifying. Graham writes in his book, “It seemed strange that an individual who claimed to have done nothing wrong and who the FBI argued continued to be a valuable source of information would request immunity.’’

    The committee turned down the request.

    Graham wrote, the FBI ”insisted that we could not even in the most sanitized manner, tell the American people that an FBI informant had a relationship with two of the hijackers.” The Bureau opposed public hearings, deleted any reference to the situation from the Joint Inquiry’s unclassified report. Only a year later did the FBI allow a heavily-redacted version of the story in the public report.

    Finally in his book Graham describes a letter from a member of the FBI’s congressional staff explaining the Bureau had been uncooperative on orders of the administration. “We were seeing in writing what we had suspected for some time. The White House was directing the coverup.

    “Later, when the 911 Commission conducted its own investigation, both Bush and Cheney met with them in a private, off-the-record conversation.”

    This story and the new piece by Wright strongly suggest the President, Vice President and head of the FBI were engaged in obstruction of justice. If so, that would call for the convening of a federal grand jury. Would the Justice Department, which runs the FBI, do that? Probably not.

    So it is left to the families suing the Saudis to find and publish the truth.

    Well, it's relatively easy to see how much money Darth Cheney made. Just look at how Halliburton was on the verge of bankruptcy before 9/11 and Iraq (getting in that position with Cheney as CEO, not coincidentally) and how they became profitable again, virtually overnight because of the fabricated war, and all the no-bid contracts given out.

    Mostly so Darth could pad his own retirement account, of course.

    I get that these thugs made more money than they can count, but how much does one sell his country out for?
    A million, a billion, a trillion, a gazillion, a billion billion ??
    It just seems incredible that these kind of people exist....

    I would like to see Mr. Ridgeway expound more on this. If this is true than obviously the alleged hijackers had outside help from some powerful resources. I mean, who can possibly be above the C.I.A. when it comes to staging terrorism either foreign or domestic?

    The Saudis are major funders of terrorists. It's what they do. And if they don't keep the money flowing, the Wahhabis are gonna overthrow the royal family and it's off to Chop Chop Square with all of them.

    A corrupt dictatorship that cuts off peoples heads, oppresses women and funds terrorists.

    Even worse this is a country that doesn't even allow you to have a beer!!!

    I'm trying to think of other countries who could have provided 80% of the terrorists and all the sponsorship for the 9-11 attacks without any sort of backlash from either the US government, media or even it seems US public opinion.

    A few years ago a pro Canadian oil group created an ad that pointed out how unethical Saudi oil is.

    The Saudi's actually sent lawyers to sue our news broadcasters…Sun news reported on it…the Foreign Affairs minister commented on it.

    CTV and CBC chose not to aggravate the Saudi's…

    That ad went to private broadcasters only, so CTV & CBC were not impacted by the cease & desist order...

    Saudi Arabia is no friend of the US. It funds anti-US terrorism. Some of the most radical sects of Islam like Wahabi is supported there. Oddly enough the US tie with Saudi Arabia came from Henry Kissinger making a deal that the US (the largest oil user at the time) would buy Saudi oil if Saudi Arabia only sold it's oil in US Dollars. This of course backed the US Dollar by Saudi Oil and made it an even more powerful world currency.

    The Bush family. Kissinger. All clearly domestic enemies of what the US was originally founded on. These are globalists who believe multi-national corporations owned by a few elite stock holders should run the world and the US constitution is an outdated document (remember George W Bush saying it was?) that should go the way of the dodo bird.

    Israel is also not a real friend of the US. It uses the US for it's own agenda and could really care less about the average US citizen. Thinking we have friends in the middle east is naive. It's not a friendly region of the world and there are no real good guys there. I think we would be smart to distance ourselves from there actually. If you want to take over the world geopoliticaly you need to control the middle east. I think this is the real motive for people like the Bush family and Henry Kissinger. They believe in US dominance as far as it paves the way to the whole world being ran by corporations and consolidating countries into unions. A lofty goal but with the US petrol dollar and the US military backing it, possible in think tank games and analysis.

    Who wants us in the middle east are corporations and oligarchs. Not the average citizen who would like the money to be spent at home instead. If being out of the middle east all together means having a weaker dollar fine with me. It would make US exports cheaper and fuel jobs at home.

    Middle east control is not about US interests. Hell the US Dollar that funds our operations isn't even US. The Federal Reserve Bank is a private corporation backing it's money with OPEC oil. Both The Fed and OPEC rip the American people off. Then of course it's american blood that gets spilled in the wars.

    Still want to fly your MADE IN CHINA bought at Wal-Mart American flag and want more shock and aw? Think about it. Nothing going on in the middle east has your best interest as an American at hand. Unless you are a war profiteer or an oligarch playing geopolitical level finance there's nothing in the middle east for you.

    As a friend who immigrated from Egypt once told me,"There is nothing in the middle east worth killing our children over.". I agree.

    Go ask any US citizen yourself what they think about Saudi Arabia. Most likely the response won't be positive. The thing is the US media has been consolidated and bought up. It used to be the local television stations, radio stations, and new papers were locally owned. Then companies started buying them up and now our media is controlled by about five conglomerates. So the result is biased news.

    As far as the US Federal Government goes, it doesn't serve the US citizens anymore. It serves multi-national corporations like BP and GE. Did the US Government care about anyone during the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? Nope. The Obama Administration just let BP do what it wanted. There was no government crackdown. Why? Obama works for BP along with other multi-nationals. Most the US congress as well.

    With both the Democrat and Republican parties being bought, all the average American can vote for is one of two lousy choices provided by one or the other party. If anyone shows they are going to be a candidate for the people, they won't get the party nomination or the media will be used to ruin their public image.

    So I don't know what the answer is. This is the current situation. I think the presidency is impossible to clean up with elections. It's possible to still clean up the US congress with elections. The congress has the real power and can change things to clean the presidency up. There is also the option of the states holding a constitutional convention and firing the president and the congress. If there are no political solutions left well then there might be a military coup or a revolution that would be bloody and who knows what the end result would be. Possibly better or possibly worse. But this is where a broken government takes you and the US Federal Government is broken. It's gone rogue.

    I do remember CTV bailed...CBC would not touch it.
    I watch CTV late news every night when not working...they did run a story on being threatened...then backed right off like it never happened.

    Even though QMI may not admit it...they did not run the ads all that long either.

    I was wrong on Foreign affairs...it was Immigration.

    CTV cancels ad campaign under Saudi pressure


    OTTAWA - Efforts to silence an advertising campaign about Saudi Arabian oil before it re-airs in Canada have succeeded in keeping the ads off CTV News Channel.

    QMI Agency has acquired an e-mail that indicates the broadcaster cancelled a booking for an Ethicaloil.org ad campaign that presents Saudi Arabian oil as an "unethical" energy choice.

    "Our position should be that we are in receipt of notice of a legal dispute with respect to this spot and that, accordingly, we will not broadcast the spot until the legal dispute is resolved," reads the e-mail quoting CTV's legal department.

    The ads have raised the ire of the Saudi government because they equate buying Saudi oil with helping fund a kingdom that oppresses women while presenting Alberta's oilsands as a more humane alternative.

    Sun News Network continues to run the ads.

    Saudi Arabia's government has hired a high-powered law firm to get the ads banned.

    Immigration Minister Jason Kenney shot back at the moves to silence the ads.

    "Apparently (the Saudi) government has threatened Canadian broadcasters if they run a particular ad by a Canadian non-profit, non-governmental organization," Kenney said during a stop in Brampton, Ont. "Canada is a country that is a champion of freedom of speech. That is a constitutional right. And we don't take kindly to foreign governments threatening directly or indirectly Canadian broadcasters or media for giving voice to freedom of speech."

    An industry insider has told QMI Agency the Saudi government has been asking around to find out who funds Ethicaloil.org.

    Responding to inquiries, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers wouldn't confirm that it had been approached by Riyadh, but did make clear it doesn't fund the group.

    Meantime, Tory MP Dean Allison, chairman of the Commons foreign affairs committee, confirmed he'll ask MPs to look into how Saudi Arabia has reacted to the controversial campaign.

    Sounds very middle east to me. Kind of like Frankenstien's monster. All that country has done is live like pimps off of their oil. Have they invested it into anything long-term? Nope. They are currently pumping sea water into their oil wells (to raise the oil to the top) and the oil production figures every year never change (a sure sign of cooked books). Saudi Arabia is running out of oil but not reporting it. It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.

    hmmm...strange strange strange..a muslim is a major player in faux news...yet they are heavy on the anti muslim front....
    also...my own thoughts on this mid east oil thingy..
    is that the u.s. is going to run the mid east out of oil....
    how would that play out once all the money dries up there.....

    We need to get off oil entirely. Oil has three options, and none of them are acceptable.

    1) Continue dealing with the Saudis and other foreign assholes and starting wars over it.

    2) The toxic death pipeline from Canada which will not only increase pollution to intolerable levels, but will double the Koch brothers fortune.

    3) Destroy the oceans with offshore drilling on our own coasts, and arguably worse, the Arctic (most of which the Russians are trying to steal as it is)

    None of the three have any real benefits that outweigh the risks. It's time to get off the 19th century combustion engines, and use biofuels from renewable sources (HEMP) for those that remain.

    If the oil companies want to put their greed above everything else, then let the bastards grow some hemp, and come by it honestly. There's no excuse not to move forward with this shit. Aside from obscene amounts of money going into propaganda to convince the sheeple that we need to stay in the 19th century.

    I know that's a joke but I gotta agree with Ford on that point. We need to quit being so dependant on oil so we don't keep getting dragged into bullshit in the middle east that has nothing at all to do with us. On top of that and his other points we don't really know the long term effects of pumping oil out of the ground and refilling the hole it came from with salt water. Eventually the earth will become inhabitable for human beings naturaly but we don't need to rush things by destroying it ourselves.

    That's the thing...we can sever ties to the Middle East.

    Canada and the US have more than enough oil to supply ourselves.

    There are bigger players in this though...the Saudi's want huge profit but keep oil low enough to make alternate power sources uneconomical at this point.

    There are big players in the US attacking Canadian oil to keep the current status quo in operation.

    One thing that is unreal is the amount of oil being hauled by rail...I see oil tankers everyday...there is big money at stake fighting against pipelines...people like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates profit from it.

    Bio Fuels are still heavy in greenhouse gas to produce and are quite frankly shit fuel.
    You just need to fuel up in the US with Ethanol blends then fill up on Canadian fuel and you can feel the difference...and see better mpg too.

    My mine tried Bio Diesel and it was brutal...less power and way dirtier at the exhaust.

    This is the best we have right now.

    edit
    The planet will be fine...it will cure it's self...it always does...it just means we go.
    Our time will come and go...Human time is a mere blip in it's current history.

    Not if we do something really stupid beforehand like setting off a bomb (weapon whatever) so powerful it throws the earth off it's axis. How long before some crazy motherfucker decides to blow up the moon or redirect a comet or large meteor into the planet?

    And this is why NASA needs to start cranking out some Millennium Falcons and big giant transport ships. So we can go to other planets and hang out there.

    If we don't we'll be extinct when earth becomes uninhabitable. That might be a million years or more in the future but it will happen eventually. The next Noah's Ark is going to be a spaceship. Maybe the last one was too. That certainly would explain a few mysteries of human development.
