So Carter gave up on Iran and is responsible for 'funding' bin Laden and Al Qaeda (indirectly through the Saudis).

"Saudi largess encouraged U.S. officials to look the other way, some veteran intelligence officers say. Billions of dollars in contracts, grants, and salaries have gone to a broad range of former U.S. officials who had dealt with the Saudis: ambassadors, CIA station chiefs, even cabinet secretaries."

It is time to call these people out, and make sure they cannot be quoted in public without noting that they receive money from the same source as Al-Qaida: Saudi Arabia. Imagine if Hitler had bought the services of virtually every retired State Department officer?

The ubiquitous zakat boxes have been banned. Saudi officials liken the situation to U.S. funding of the Irish Republican Army. During the 1970s and '80s, IRA activists raised millions of dollars from Irish-Americans, despite British pleas that the funds were backing IRA terrorism. "The Saudis are not diligent donors," says Chas. Freeman, a former ambassador to Riyadh whose Middle East Policy Council receives Saudi funds. "They've never asked us what we're doing with their money." The Saudis' record, Freeman says, is not one of complicity but of "negligence and incompetence."

Getting serious.

Not everyone, obviously, agrees. A $1 trillion lawsuit names Saudi princes, businessmen, and charities for funding the terrorists behind the 9/11 attacks. Brought by more than 900 victims' family members, the suit is winding its way through the U.S. courts. The withholding of 27 pages in Congress's 9/11 report last June--detailing Saudi funding and ties to al Qaeda--has only fed suspicions.

Yeah, no kidding. Ironic, that the smoking gun the families of the victims need to prove their case, is "classified." WHY? Because the truth hurts.

Mr. King, I'd recommend you take a long look at this... It's a long read, but JUST DAMN.

Selective quote: "Wahhabism's more extreme preachings--mistrust of infidels, branding of rival sects as apostates, and emphasis on violent jihad--laid the groundwork for terrorist groups around the world."

Freepers know all these details. But to have them persuasively put end-to-end in US Snooze will have an effect. One wonders if Karl Rove will wake up before Dean slams the Administration over this.

Great article, thanks for posting, everyone, please click and read the complete U.S. News and World Report.

Contained within the U.S. News and World Report Article:

The Saudis didn't really get it," says Wechsler, the former NSC coordinator. "They didn't get it after the '98 embassy bombings, after the Cole bombing, after 9/11, after Bali. They got it after May 12."

We need to inform the U.S. State Department, President and Congress that business as usual, going along with the gag (looking the other way in the interests of political correctness) with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia WILL NOT be tolerated.

In God we trust, not Mohammed or allah.
