Although they called themselves private foundations, these were not charities in the sense that Americans understand the term. The Muslim World League and the IIRO, for example, are overseen by the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, the kingdom's highest religious authority. They receive substantial funds from the government and members of the royal family and make use of the Islamic affairs offices of Saudi embassies abroad. The Muslim World League's current secretary general, Abdullah Al-Turki, served as the kingdom's minister of Islamic affairs for six years. "The Muslim World League, which is the mother of IIRO, is a fully government-funded organization," the IIRO's Canadian head testified in a 1999 court case. "In other words, I work for the government of Saudi Arabia."

U.S. intelligence agencies, meanwhile, were picking up disturbing "chatter" out of Saudi Arabia. Electronic intercepts of conversations implicated members of the royal family in backing not only al Qaeda but also other terrorist groups, several intelligence sources confirmed to U.S. News. None were senior officials--the royal family has some 7,000 members. But several intercepts implicated some of the country's wealthiest businessmen. "It was not definitive but still very disturbing," says a senior U.S. official. "That was the year we had to admit the Saudis were a problem."


Interested in debating whether or not the Saudi Arabian government and/or royal family could have funded 9/11 again, Rip?  Or are you still so enraptured with the idea of cheap gas that you don't care?

*yawn*....
Would you and your liberal college friends support an invasion of S.A.? Prolly not...now why do you think your friend Bill didn't do a damn thing? huh? ;) Ching Ching.

Like I said in earlier conversations, its GOOD to have a foothold in the middle east, like a neighborhood watch dog.  You've yet to figure that out yet Lance.

*This just in* The Saudi's are not our friends. They tolerate our existence there because it serves their purpose as well as ours. I think they'd rather just be rid of us. But no worries, there are other more liberal countries in the region who are happy to soak up our dollars...Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar come to mind.

Heh, just as I suspected, you are more interested in cheap gas for your beamer than you are getting to the bottom of who actually funded the 9/11 attacks.  

As for your question regarding support of an invasion of SA, I dunno, Rip.  The evidence regarding their involvement in 9/11 is suppressed.  I'd have to see that before I could say whether or not I'd support an invasion.  Now, why do you think this administration squelched that? Ding dong?

didnt howard dean get to the bottom of 9/11.  He said "Bush let it happen"  in fact I think that is the basis for his campaign.  If Howard Dean said it, it has to be true

COOL!

I did'nt think anyone even noticed me here!

Apparently, I'm known for some personality trait, but I'm not sure what it is.

So if some one is acting like me, can we cay they're all "Mucked up?"

hehe.

An invasion of SA is a very scary prospect. Now, I was all for going after Hussein, but SA is a different nut. The financing they provide is at the heart of terror. But imagine if you will the outrage, and terror attacks we would face if we had boys from Arkansas pitching tents in Mecca and Medina.

The answer in my terribly uneducated opinion is to destroy their economy. Fuel Cells, alternative energy, fuel efficient cars.

The day is coming, but Big oil is fighting us every step of the way.

Exxon Mobil had just as big a hand in 9/11 as any Saudi Financier. They've known for years these people are unstable, and could become a problem, yet they've blocked every attempt at alternative energy to pad their own pockets.

(This has been a Muckmaw Moment)
