With all the talk of torture in the news that followed the destruction of the Trade Towers, one is reminded of that terrible period in our history. I am especially aware of one aspect that has never been
explained to my satisfaction. Why did we give Saudi Arabia a pass on 9-11. Of the 19 hijackers on that horrible day, 15 were citizens of Saudi Arabia. The other two were from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Lebanon. But there was no outcry against Saudi Arabia and, in fact, President Bush arranged immediate transportation back to their home country for Saudi citizens in Washington, (including relatives of Osama Bin Ladin). This on a day when no one else was flying. Why has that never been explained? And knowing that the hijackers were Saudis, why did Bush rush to vilify Iraq? And why hasn't the press pursued this story. Did I miss a special report saying that the Saudis has nothing to do with 9-11? Or, once again, does oil trump everything?Including the deaths of almost 3,000 innocent victims.
