Saudi Arabia: No evidence its agents helped in 9/11 attacks
Source: USA Today / AP
NEW YORK (AP) Attorneys for Saudi Arabia say a judge should reject claims by families of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks that new evidence including an interview with the man who became known as the "20th hijacker" shows agents of the kingdom "directly and knowingly" helped the hijackers.
In papers filed in Manhattan federal court late Friday, the lawyers said there is no evidence Saudi Arabia supported or caused the attacks.
They urged a judge to dismiss the claims against Saudi Arabia, saying the lawyers "have had enough chances to make their case."
Saudi Arabia was among the countries, companies and organizations sued in 2002 and afterward by families who claimed they aided al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden and other terrorist groups. The lawsuits sought billions of dollars in damages.

(750 posts)The major cultural advantage of the one percent governance that is happening now, is the ability to avoid truth, via the media that is more than complicit, now many of us are convinced the media is a key criminal player.
That science in the truth laws of thought, and reasoning should to be like a constant short melody. Its the secrets kept that need to be examined for that so called ideal of National Security or where decisions made based on political profiteering for the Bush/ Cheney/ Arab family fortune building.
Repeating those legal questions by law because of secret redacted lines in documentation will forever need an answer. Endlessly they must be pursued, but not in the same pitch as ostinato, black wrap hate music, its not like a rock and roll song.
But more sojourn, a constant visit into the back allies, the one percent baggage, those closet people that work both sides of politics those hidden in the Swiss bank accounts, those hidden in the Cayman Islands, everything secret needs to be opened up for America to be a leader in the life quest. Say it again The life Quest
How can a Conservative Party incessantly push for war at the same time rant The Right To Life but claim to be compassionate. Yes many believed the Bush theory of the Compassionate Conservative, all the while sacking the treasury.
This Bush Cheney war will never gain evanescence from my view until a serious International War hearing about torture is done, let alone Arab complicity in crime for fortune building. That fortune building has been in the background with Bush and Cheney for decades via Carlyle group, and Haliburton. The media is criminal in that cover up with no turning back but to lie harder to completely avoid the truth in media lies.
The right definitely uses the media in criminal ways, the logical art deliberately deceptional is glaring especially in small panel discussions or single anchor breaking news narratives. Now no matter what station the hate radio has escalated to ugly proportions via Rush Limbaugh, Hannity etc
Heck not just wars, Americas Health Care system is loaded with lies deception and cover ups. Notice the advertisements on free air television that thirty billion dollars is allocated for legal issues to compensate people subjected to cancer producing carcinogens. Americans are poisoned daily needing Health Care, a very cool gig for the medical people.

(39,405 posts)A British princess is kidnapped, and it's announced on youtube, depriving the government of the chance to keep the whole thing under wraps.
The kidnapper has one demand: the PM has to have sex with a pig on live TV on all channels.
The PM tries all the familiar ways to manage the flow of information and even fake complying with the demand with CGI, but social media thwarts him at every turn.
Ultimately, he has to do the pig.
We have shorten the lifespan of some political lies in the last decade or so, and it's not hard to imagine people shutting down a war, trade deal, or some other action that screws the vast majority of us as it is happening.
The lead lining of the silver cloud though was most people might only act if it it involves a princess and a pig-fucker.
