I'd like to know the level of complicity between the Saudis and Bush in

protecting bin Laden. We know that Saudis contributed large donations to him and his cause.

1. I am hoping some of this will come out in the data retrieved.

[villager]

4. you mean our government will release damning evidence about their Saudi sponsors?

:shrug:

5. Or about Bush who they are doing their best to protect in the

interest of "bi-partisanship."????

[tabatha]

10. One can hope.

Possibly someone will send it to WikiLeaks.

2. too bad there will never be a trial...

7. They'd have to waterboard him 2193 times before he testified.

Just in case he remembered anything significant.

3. That might be nice to know

But with the data safely tucked away in hands exceedingly friendly to the Saudis and the Bush administrations, the odds of any of it coming out are roughly the same as the odds of Barbara Bush winning the next American Idol contest.

6. Read House of Saud House of Bush

Amazon.com Review
The perilous ramifications of the September 11 attacks on the United States are only now beginning to unfold. They will undoubtedly be felt for generations to come. This is one of many sad conclusions readers will draw from Craig Unger's exceptional book House of Bush House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties. As Unger claims in this incisive study, the seeds for the "Age of Terrorism" and September 11 were planted nearly 30 years ago in what, at the time, appeared to be savvy business transactions that subsequently translated into political currency and the union between the Saudi royal family and the extended political family of George H. W. Bush. On the surface, the claim may appear to be politically driven, but as Unger (a respected investigative journalist and editor) probes--with scores of documents and sources--the political tenor of the U.S. over the last 30 years, the Iran-Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan, the birth of Al Qaeda, the dubious connection between members of the Saudi Royal family and the exportation of terror, and the personal fortunes amassed by the Bush family from companies such as Harken Energy and the Carlyle Group, he exposes the "brilliantly hidden agendas and purposefully murky corporate relationships" between these astonishingly powerful families. His evidence is persuasive and reveals a devastating story of Orwellian proportions, replete with political deception, shifting allegiances, and lethal global consequences. Unger begins his book with the remarkable story of the repatriation of 140 Saudis directly following the September 11 attacks. He ends where Richard A. Clarke begins, questioning the efficacy of the war in Iraq in the battle against terrorism. We are unquestionably facing a global security crisis unlike any before. President Bush insists that we will prevail, yet as Unger so effectively concludes, "Never before has an American president been so closely tied to a foreign power that harbors and supports our country's mortal enemies."
