Some excerpts from this very long piece:
"A meeting of prominent Saudis occurs in a Paris hotel. Among the attendees is the head of Saudi intelligence, Turki bin Faisal, and Khalid bin Mahfouz. They meet with a representative of al Qaeda and agree to extend the earlier arrangement made between the Saudi royal family and Osama bin Laden â whereby in return for cash, al Qaeda agrees not to attack inside Saudi Arabia.
The CIA produces an internal report that documents the numerous Saudi charities that are funding terrorists. Osama bin Ladenâs name is mentioned."
and
"A third view, explored by the fifth estate, suggests something different altogether: that the evidence pointing to a pending attack was not pursued vigorously (consciously or unconsciously) simply because much of it led back to Saudi Arabia. And that Saudi Arabia holds a special place in the U.S. political, business and intelligence milieu. It's a country that is not held to the same standards of accountability as are other nations. The reason, of course, is Americaâs enormous dependence on Saudi Arabia for oil. Remember: 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens."
and
"in 1996, Valerie Donahue, a special agent with the FBI in Chicago, investigates a chemical company that appears to be an investment fraud scheme. The company is owned in part by the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO), Saudi Arabiaâs most powerful charity that is funded by members of the Saudi royal family. The IIRO is also one of the biggest distributors of monies to terrorist groups like al Qaeda. Donahue found that large sums of money, in excess of $1.2-million, had been transferred from the IIRO to the Chicago company. Donahueâs report mentions large amounts going to the IIRO from âan account maintained in the United States by the embassy of a foreign government, which has provided IIRO with approximately $400,000.â
This foreign embassy is most likely the Saudi embassy, given the IIROâs close ties to the Saudi government. Chances are, if the FBI had investigated IIRO at this time, and its possible ties to the Saudi embassy, it would have had understood its support of terrorism within America. At the time, the IIRO had its U.S. offices in Falls Church, Virginia, a town where support for the 9/11 hijackers was strong, and where two of the hijackers stayed in the months leading up to 9/11."
and much much more. Especially damning for the Bush family is the Charles W. White interview here:
