A 9/11 Conspirator in King Bush's Court?

A 9/11 Conspirator in King Bush's Court?
Sheehan Wasn't Welcome But a Saudi Accused of Support for al Qaeda Was

by Jeremy Scahill

While Cindy Sheehan was being dragged from the House gallery moments before President Bush delivered his State of the Union address for wearing a t-shirt honoring her son and the other 2,244 US soldiers killed in Iraq, Turki al-Faisal was settling into his seat inside the gallery. Faisal, a Saudi, is a man who has met Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants on at least five occasions, describing the al Qaeda leader as "quite a pleasant man." He met multiple times with Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. Yet, unlike Sheehan, al-Faisal was a welcomed guest of President Bush on Tuesday night. He is also a man that the families of more than 600 victims of the 9/11 attacks believe was connected to their loved ones' deaths.

Al-Faisal is actually Prince Turki al-Faisal, a leading member of the Saudi royal family and the kingdom's current ambassador to the US. But the bulk of his career was spent at the helm of the feared Saudi intelligence services from 1977 to 2001. Last year, The New York Times pointed out that "he personally managed Riyadh's relations with Osama bin Laden and Mullah Muhammad Omar of the Taliban. Anyone else who had dealings with even a fraction of the notorious characters the prince has worked with over the years would never make it past a U.S. immigration counter, let alone to the most exclusive offices in Washington." Al-Faisal was also named in the $1 trillion lawsuit filed by hundreds of 9/11 victims' families, who accused him of funding bin Laden's network. Curiously, his tenure as head of Saudi intelligence came to an abrupt and unexpected end 10 days before the 9/11 attacks.

(snip)

Ultimately, a judge dismissed the 9/11 families' lawsuit against al-Faisal and his cohorts, saying US courts lacked jurisdiction over the matter. But many of those families believe firmly that al-Faisal was connected to the attacks that killed their loved ones. The obvious question is: how does the president justify the ejection of a Gold Star Mother from the State of the Union, while openly welcoming a man believed by hundreds of victims' families to be connected to the attack Bush uses to justify every shred of his violent policies?

During his speech, Bush said, "It is said that prior to the attacks of September the 11th, our government failed to connect the dots of the conspiracy." Perhaps he should have just looked over his wife's shoulder up there in the gallery during the State of the Union.

1. Oh come on...

it's not as though there are pictures of President Bush holding hands with Saudi...er... never mind.

2. Turki al-Faisal murdered thousands of Americans,

and George W. Bush let him do it.

Why?

3. Huh? The Saudis Had Nothing to do with 9/11......

Huh? The Saudis Had Nothing to do with 9/11 other than to provide the convenient patsies for the fraudulent "official story".

Dr. David Ray Griffin is the author of "The New Pearl Harbor" and he's been exceptionally brave at challenging the official superstitions and mythologies perpetrated by the frauds in the White House. Griffin has been quoted as saying that "there are many conspiracy theories about what happened on 9/11, but the only conspiracy theory that is totally discredited is 'the official story'."

Wake up and smell the Arabica. 9/11 was an inside job, perpetrated by the most fascist, imperialistic cadre within the military-industrial complex as a "psyop" in order to "shock & awe(TM)" the dim-witted American populace into accepting a vicious war for resources in Eurasia disguised as a holy "War on Terror".

It's all smoke and mirrors.

And Turki Al-Faisal, or whatever he's called, is merely an obliging quisling who is being offered imperial protection for the fraudulent House of Saud by the greatest band of military thugs the world has ever seen.

4. That's far more plausible than the "official" story, where a hijacker's

passport is found in tact in the rubble of the fallen World Trade Towers, and plans for 9/11 found within a couple of hours in the rental car at the airport left by the hijackers.

5. Hi Sue, Nice to Meet You!

Speaking of plausibility, I highly recommend that people start to learn about the 9/11 Truth Movement.

There's a number of websites I can share, if you are interested.

You can start with http://www.911blogger.com/ which stays pretty current on Truth Alliance developments.

There's a ton more I can share, if you are interested.

Anyone who is can reach me at <[e-mail]> for much more detail.

Thanks for your interest!

Best, Ray

6. Seeing as you're new...

I just thought I'd tell you that the 9/11 truth movement gained a lot of its initial momentum right here on DU. Although there was a bit of a backlash and many of the people involved were tombstoned (banned) or left voluntarily, many of the people at the forefront of the 9/11 truth movement started out right here.

For example:

He was a great guy, dunno why he left though.

7. Hi, "Ray": welcome to DU...

...my own "Credibility Alliance" would vote you an increased share of the same ("credibility," that is) if you would first enable your profile.

Thanks.

8. Welcome Ray! You are going to find out very shortly that there is

a 9/11 forum here and there is some excellent research there. Paul Thompson is a member of DU, so don't be surprised when you see him there. :)

I say soon, as this thread is going to be diverted there very shortly. DU doesn't seem to want to allow 9/11 subjects to stay in General Discussion.
