No Saudi Payment to Qaeda Is Found http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/19/politics/19QAED.html

WASHINGTON, June 18 %u2014 The staff of the Sept. 11 commission has put forward what amounts to a major revision of a widely held perception in Washington that top Saudi officials gave money to Al Qaeda.

The new account, based on 19 months of staff work, asserts flatly that there is "no evidence" that the Saudi government or senior Saudi officials financed the group, which is led by Osama bin Laden.

How the hell would they know? What I'd like to know is how many members of this rogue commission and/or its staff have been, are, or will be financed by the Saudi government, senior Saudi officials, or sophisticated Saudi financial cutout operations?

9/11 'Independent' commission? Not when there are major conflicts of interest :: 9/11 CitizensWatch :: We are concerned citizens challenging the official story of 9/11 http://www.911citizenswatch.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=199

Chairman Thomas Kean may be the most obvious. The US$1 trillion lawsuit filed in August 2002 by the families of the victims of September 11 includes two of Kean's business partners among the accused: Saudi billionaires Khalid bin Mahfouz (who is Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law, no less), and Mohammed Hussein al-Amoudi. They are key financial players behind al-Qaeda: Mahfouz transferred millions of dollars from a Saudi pension fund to bank accounts in London and New York linked with al-Qaeda. He is a former director of BCCI, the bank in the center of a notorious $12 billion bankruptcy scandal during the presidency of Bush senior.
So the Chairman of this commission is in business with the Saudis. That's just one. And does anybody ever look at conflicts on the part of the mostly anonymous staff?

It should be noted that Khalid bin Mahfouz, formerly of BCCI, also served as the go-between between Bush family friend James Bath and Salem bin Laden (Saddam's elder brother) in providing financing to Dubbyuh's failing firm, Arbusto Energy. So, you see, the relationships between Washington power brokers and the Houses of Saud and bin Laden go far deeper than ANYONE in Washington wants to discuss.
