SAUDI ARABIA

Opednews: So Who's Protecting the Saudis?
"The main obstacles to investigate Islamic terrorism were US oil corporate interests and the role played by Saudi Arabia in it. All the answers, everything needed to dismantle Osama bin Laden's organization, can be found in Saudi Arabia."- John P. O'Neill, Former FBI Counterterrorism expert who died at the World Trade Center on 9-11.

So how is it that Saudi Arabia gets a pass while we bomb the hell out of Afghanistan and Iraq? I think we can surmise from John P. O'Neill's quote above that US oil corporate interests are more important to the Bush administration than the true administration of justice.

Since we now know that references to Saudi Arabia's role in 9-11 have been deleted from the upcoming 9-11 Congressional Joint Inquiry report, I'd like to shed some light on a little known group of Americans who have been toiling hard behind the scenes to protect the Saudis.

The people I'm talking about are loyal Bush supporters who work for powerful law and public relations firms that have been retained by the Saudis to protect their interests.

In Sleeping With the Devil, How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude, by Former CIA Counterterrorism Operative Robert Baer which was published just this past Tuesday, Baer exposes the firm of Loeffler, Jonas and Tuggey as actively representing Saudi interests.
