Funny, I thought that regime was Taliban-occupied Afghanistan....
I believe David is referring to the fact that Osama Bin Laden
and virtually every one of the 9/11 crew were Saudis.
I kind of gathered that too... but that isn't what Dr. Brin said, now
is
it? He said that Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ordered and executed 9/11.
He said that the Kingdom perpetrated it, which is not so different from
your wording. I'd probably word it in a way that makes it clearer that
the perpetrators were /from/ Saudi Arabia, but in an extra-national
terrorist organization operating out of Afghanistan.
Unless, of course, I was grinding an axe.
