Hard, virtually impossible to be aware of all the ripples percolating out from that day.

Witness the huge amounts of info on Saudi knowledge and complicity in the attacks, at least among their clerics, diplomats etc. that has trickled out over the last two years.

The piecemeal release of such info masks the critical role of the Tragic Kingdom and helped diffuse anger away from them. Very useful for those on the Saudi take.

One thing, whatever the political masters say, at least at the rank and file level among various investigators, there does not seem to be any myopic denial or wishful thinking about the nature of the enemy.

Or as Bob Baer puts it, everyone knows the end is coming and are trying to line their pockets as fast as they can before the whole can of Saudi worms blows up.

I think it might be worthwhile to remind people that, when the third plane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, the Pakistani general heading ISI happened to be meeting in a congressional office building with congressional leaders of the intel committees (Rep. Goss and Sen. Graham, if memory serves.) He later had to resign from his position because India leaked to its press that the general had wired Atta $100,000 shortly before. We now know the target of Flight 93 was the Capitol. I wonder if the general was supposed to go into action if and when the Capitol was hit.
