Phillip Shenon Quotes
What else is in government’s files about the network of Saudis and other Arab expatriates in southern California who stepped forward to help two 9/11 hijackers during the year they lived in San Diego?.
No civilian planes were allowed to fly the day after the 9-11 attack except one—a Saudi Arabian Charter plane that carried the Saudis, who had assisted the terrorist hijackers, to Saudi Arabia. Some of them were members of the Saudi Royal family. As a result, none of them was made available to the FBI, the Justice Department or the Presidential Commission investigating the attack. The United States seemed not to have used much pressure to interrogate these Saudis, and someone in the White House must have made the exception for this airplane. This quotation is a concise statement of the major open question about the 9-11 attack. Some in the large Saudi Royal Family and other wealthy Saudis have, under the guise of Islamic charities, provided much money for support of terrorists and terrorist organizations.

The memo was kept secret by the Bush administration until public pressure as a result of the 9-11 Commission hearings forced the declassification and release. At that point it became clear that there was no reason that the memo could not have been released much earlier except that it was embarrassing. See {637530} and {637533} for two other Bin Laden Warnings that Bush and his team ignored.
Both Islamic terrorists and anti-terrorist Muslims believe that they are following the world of God. Which group is the “hijacker” can be argued either way which is why the “hijack” notion turns out not to be very useful, However, despite intense pockets and even countries where the terrorist view of Islam is in the majority, the majority of Muslims in the world reject the terrorist interpretation of Islam. The difficulty lies on supporting the anti-terrorist Muslims and fighting the Islamic Terrorists without offending the former by conflating all Muslims together.
