i may be a bit late on this but i didn't hear one single thing about it in the blog world circles i haunt - which is pretty astounding since this is some amazingly explosive shit.
the lovely susan at suburban guerrilla reports on the surprising msnbc :: 9-11 hijackers: a saudi money trail?
now, before you go back to look at other blogs for some real news, go read the thing. this is not about the 28 pages. it goes a little deeper than what i'm used to reading on the matter.
i'm gonna use the quotes susan used in her entry to let you see what kind of stuff we could be dealing with here:
"Sources familiar with the evidence say the payments—amounting to about $3,500 a month—came from an account at Washington’s Riggs Bank in the name of Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, the wife of Saudi Ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and the daughter of the late Saudi King Faisal. After Al Bayoumi left the country in July 2001—two months before the September 11 terror attacks—payments for roughly the same amount began flowing every month to Osama Basnan, a close associate of Al Bayoumi’s who also befriended the hijackers."
The CEO of the Riggs Bank is Jonathan Bush, the president's uncle. The bank was cited recently for violating money-laundering laws.
