Are you ill? Do you wanna be?
Here's a quote from an article in the Washington Post

"To varying degrees, the answers remain a mystery, despite an unprecedented seven-month effort by a joint House and Senate panel to fully understand how a group of Arab terrorists could have pulled off such a scheme. The CIA refused to permit publication of information potentially implicating Saudi officials on national security grounds, arguing that disclosure could upset relations with a key U.S. ally. Lawmakers complained it was merely to avoid embarrassment"

Here's the link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/IncrementalRegServlet?node=admin/registration/incremental&destination=incremental&nextstep=display&application=3-Point-nation&applicationURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fwp-dyn%2Farticles%2FA43291-2003Jul24.html%3Fnav%3Dhptop_tb

So! We don't want to publish information that could be embarrassing to the Saudi Government? They're a key ally?

Yeah, why would we want to embarrass the people who may have been partially responsible for over 3000 American deaths?
You can kill our people, and THAT won't upset our relations, but talking about how your citizens helped mureder ours-Hell no! Don't dare talk about it!

America has been conquered; sold for oil and corporate interests.

2. Yeah I noticed that. The irony is, we want to protect our "relations"
with our "key ally" Saudi Arabia, but could care less about our relations with France and Germany. I guess those relations don't count...

3. No such consideration for our ally, France,
because they didn't goose-step along with Das Fuhrer!

5. took the words right out of my, er, keyboard
"key allies" just another Bushit buzzword for crony pals....


people are dying, ever goddamn day, for these devils and their pockets

:grr:

here is a question: If there is so much Saudi complicity in the 9/11 attackes that it has to be classifed, then WHAT KIND OF F*CKING "ALLY" ARE THEY????

4. As long as we can
hide their involvement we can use their acts as reason to bomb the shit out of other countries without disturbing the relationships of the BFEE.
