Accused terrorist mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed has told investigators that al Qaeda chose so many Saudis to carry out the September 11 attacks partly because it was an easy place to get visas, a Saudi official said.

Al Qaeda leaders "felt that the nationality that would not ring a bell when it came to security screening at that time would be Saudis," the Saudi official told reporters in Washington this week, on the condition that he not be identified.

At least they got rid of that idiotic Visa Express program. But our borders are still far from secure two years after 9-11.

But aren't the Saudi's are our friends? Just ask GW. We will only survive when the dis-information and hypocrisy end. If the Republicans will not carry the water, then who? In the end, only the militia may save the Republic.
