The reason that the tapes were supposedly edited, is that they contained embarassing information about the Saudis. In essence, basically saying it was a well known fact that the Saudis knew what Bin-Laden was up to. If this is so way off-base, please explain to me why 18 of the 20 hijackers were saudi citizens, but we have not made one single demand of the Saudi government. We have bombed Afghanistan and destroyed the Taliban, (rightly, I might add) but have take no measures against the Saudi government, why??

You are wrong; the tapes did, in fact, contain that very language; it was the transcript that was "edited."
And if you are wondering why we haven't bombed Saudia Arabia, perhaps you need a basic course in international affairs.

but have take no measures against the Saudi government, why?? Because too many prominent Dim and Rep (same thing,really) families earn MILLIONS of dollars a year from being in business with them. They don't want to kill one of their Golden Gooses.
Like I've said before,we live in a "One-Party Country" now,with the two brances of that party in business with each other,but competing to see who holds the reins to all the gooberment power and wealth. The only real mystery is how the percentages are split. They settle this by elections.
