How US covered up Saudi role in 9/11
NY POST

In its report on the still-censored “28 pages” implicating the Saudi
government in 9/11, “60 Minutes” last weekend said the Saudi role in the
attacks has been “soft-pedaled” to protect America’s delicate alliance
with the oil-rich kingdom.
That’s quite an understatement.
Actually, the kingdom’s involvement was deliberately covered up at
the highest levels of our government. And the coverup goes beyond
locking up 28 pages of the Saudi report in a vault in the US Capitol
basement. Investigations were throttled. Co-conspirators were let off
the hook.
Case agents I’ve interviewed at the Joint Terrorism Task Forces in
Washington and San Diego, the forward operating base for some of the
Saudi hijackers, as well as detectives at the Fairfax County (Va.)
Police Department who also investigated several 9/11 leads, say
virtually every road led back to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, as
well as the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles.
Yet time and time again, they were called off from pursuing leads. A common excuse was “diplomatic immunity.”
