Why would you trust Shelby on this more than you would the president. Bogusly stamped secret the commision report?
I would doubt it.
Shelby's spent years reading thousands of Intel-related reports. I would think he has some basis for saying something is largely releasable. Even if he's inexplicably wildly off the mark, surely there's 50 percent, 40 percent, a single word - about Saudi Arabia and 9-11 that the American people are adult enough to hear.
Instead we're treated to Crawford photo ops with House of Saud "princes" and to pabulum about the KSA being an ally in the WOT.
BTW- There's a thread somewhere on FR today about a Saudi diplomat mixing it up with Mohammad Atta's Hamburg terror cell.
