Bushwhacked

The New York Post reports the Bush administration covered up Saudi involvement in the 9/11 terror attacks. They quote sources among retired FBI agents and CIA operatives.

In its report on the still-censored “28 pages” implicating the Saudi government in 9/11, “60 Minutes” last weekend said the Saudi role in the attacks has been “soft-pedaled” to protect America’s delicate alliance with the oil-rich kingdom.

That’s quite an understatement.

Actually, the kingdom’s involvement was deliberately covered up at the highest levels of our government. And the coverup goes beyond locking up 28 pages of the Saudi report in a vault in the US Capitol basement. Investigations were throttled. Co-conspirators were let off the hook.

Was this coverup just appallingly bad judgment or something worse, perhaps treason? Somebody important should be tried for this malfeasance; if not Bush II, then some of his immediate underlings. How else can we learn the truth of the matter?
