Saudi pay masters
Joe Conason: Sleeping with the enemy
"...Apparently, there were so few clues to Iraqi links with the Sept. 11 hijackers that the Congressional report doesn?t even mention the subject. Yet we?re supposed to believe that the deposed regime of Saddam Hussein was deeply involved with Al Qaeda -- and that the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is our friend and ally.
On July 29, Mr. Bush refused the Saudi foreign minister?s request to declassify the 28 pages of the Congressional report that pertain to the kingdom. The President said he doesn?t want to "compromise" the ongoing investigation of the terror attacks. Full disclosure might also compromise other important interests -- including his own political future."
