May I ask why this is such a controversy ? We all knew the impetus for OBL’s hatred of The United States was driven, in part, by his anger about being ostracized in Saudi Arabia for his vocal opposition to Saudi asking the U.S. for help when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and visibly threatened to drive his Republican Guard South into Saudi Arabia.
OBL was angry with the kingdom’s decision to align with the U.S. for protection – OBL was a Saudi National with massive internal support within the region. So why would it be a shock that those OBL aligned elements within the house of Saud would be part of the 911 attacks?
The bigger question is: who, or what, benefits from this public discussion being injected into our body politic at this specific moment?
(New York Post) After the 9/11 attacks, the public was told al Qaeda acted alone, with no state sponsors.
But the White House never let it see an entire section of Congress’ investigative report on 9/11 dealing with “specific sources of foreign support” for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.
It was kept secret and remains so today. (more…)

Apartheid as a political structure in South Africa was bad. Oppression under any guise is always wrong.
