I suspect its a cover story. I think Bin Laden is an agent for the fundi members of the House of Saud. The House of Saud basically has two groups the Caligula types and the fanatic types.

I know the House of Saud makes stacks of money from the west. I know that the House of Saud has no monetary interest in having a bunch of terrorists gain power. I suspect the only thing these Saudi royals are fanatic about is -- MONEY.

They'd be more cooperative if that was the case. Abdullah the ruler of Saudi Arabia( since Fahd is a vegetable) has been consistently anti American.

That is very naive. They have had the money for a long time, so it is easy to take money for granted. The really important issues are religious purity and Muslim credibility (i.e., relevance). Bin Laden is their man.
