In reply to the discussion: How the Bush Administration Covered Up the Saudi Connection to 9/11 [View all]starroute
(12,977 posts)I tried tracing through the various news accounts and court filings a few years ago and got the impression that though the families themselves are sincere, the case has attracted a lot of vultures who are hoping for a multi-billion dollar settlement from which they can peel of a few millions for themselves.
There are also vultures on the other side. Some DUers may remember ten or twelve years ago when there were stories about James Baker representing the Saudi royals -- that was to get them dropped from the list of defendants. Jack Abramoff's involvement with the General Council for Islamic Banks was also related to helping cover their asses.
In the end, I decided it was too large and complex a story for me to follow out on my own. But if anybody here is interested, I can post a summary of what I did find and links to more.
