I apologize in advance for the ridiculous length of the following post, but it must be done.

New evidence suggests that some of the hijackers were assisted by employees of the Saudi government. It has previously been reported that Omar al-Bayoumi, a Saudi who was paid by the Saudi government despite not doing any work, assisted hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi when they first moved to the US. The FBI timeline shows that when these two hijackers moved into their first San Diego apartment, they indicated that they had been living with Bayoumi in the apartment next door for the previous two weeks. In fact, they had been with him in that apartment since January 15, 2000, the very day they first flew into the US, arriving in Los Angeles. The timeline also reveals that hijacker Hani Hanjour was seen in Bayoumi’s apartment.

So they were living with a fellow countryman in the pay of the Saudi government. So what? Please explain the relevance.

The new book The Commission by New York Times reporter Philip Shenon published last week further reveals that Bayoumi had close ties to Fahad al-Thumairy, a radical imam working in the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles. For instance, Bayoumi frequently called al-Thumairy while living next door to the two hijackers, and also frequently called the Saudi embassy in Washington, D.C. The book also reveals that the 9/11 Commission was aware of “explosive” revelations about the ties between Bayoumi, Thumairy, and the two hijackers, but the commission’s final report omitted “virtually all of the most serious allegations against the Saudis,” due to diplomatic considerations. Now, thanks to this FBI timeline, we are discovering more of this suppressed evidence relating to Saudi Arabia.

So it appears that the hijackers were using this Bayoumi's ties to the Saudi embassy. There IS corruption in ALL government, even that of Saudi Arabia. Even if this Bayoumi was getting some kind of direction from the Saudi embassy, that doesn't mean that corruption goes all the way to the top. There is always something that doesn't smell quite right flying under the radar of every major government, but most governments ruling heads don't have informants that tell them about these things.

Security camera footage obtained by the FBI after 9/11 indicated that Khalid Almihdhar and possibly Salem Alhazmi cased Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., the evening before 9/11. This fits the account of a security guard , related in Unsafe at Any Altitude by Joe and Susan Trento, who independently claimed to have seen two hijackers, Salem’s brother Nawaf and Marwan Alshehhi, casing Dulles Airport the night before 9/11. This guard claims the two hijackers were part of a group of five men, three of whom were dressed in United Airlines ramp worker uniforms, that behaved suspiciously. Despite a lawsuit by 9/11 victims’ relatives against United Airlines and others for negligence, the US government has never revealed the existence of this video footage which might support claims that the hijackers had inside help.

All this was realized after the fact. Even IF the FBI was somehow clued in that they were casing the joint in preparation for a hijacking tomorrow, there would be paperwork and signatures required to mobilize any kind of strike, therefore there wouldn't have been time anyway. No one could've predicted what would happen on 9/11. Blaming the airport is just a knee jerk reaction of people looking for closure.

Hijackers Marwan Alshehhi and Hamza Alghamdi purchased hundreds of dollars of “pornographic video and sex toys” in Florida. They spent $252 on video and toys in early July 2001, and then another $183 later that month. Furthermore, Satam Al Suqami likely paid for a sex escort in Boston on September 7, 2001. Alshehhi was also recognized by six dancers at Cheetah’s, a nightclub in Pompano Beach, Florida. This fits in with other evidence of the hijackers drinking alcohol, paying for lap dancers, watching pornographic videos, etc…—hardly the expected behavior of religious radicals.

It seems to me they knew they were going to bite if they succeeded, or get thrown in jail for the rest of their lives if they got caught. Its a real life 'what would you do if you only had 2 weeks to live' scenario.

I'm not going to do the whole article, because much of it is the same. Its unimportant details that might point to some kind of backing from Saudi Arabia. So what? We knew that the Saudis had dealt with Bin Laden in the past and had given plenty of money to him. Unless a Saudi leader comes out and says 'I KNEW ABOUT THIS AND I DIDN'T TELL ANYONE', we will never be able to prove that they played a direct part in it.

Move on. There is no grand conspiracy to subvert the American people into hating Muslims. There is no secret society, there is no plot, there is NOTHING.
