WASHINGTON - Two of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers had a support network in the United States that included agents of the Saudi government, and the Bush administration and FBI blocked a congressional investigation into that relationship, Sen. Bob Graham wrote in a book to be released Tuesday.

The discovery of the financial backing of the two hijackers "would draw a direct line between the terrorists and the government of Saudi Arabia, and trigger an attempted coverup by the Bush administration," the Florida Democrat wrote.

And in Graham's book, Intelligence Matters, obtained by The Herald Saturday, he makes clear that some details of that financial support from Saudi Arabia were in the 27 pages of the congressional inquiry's final report that were blocked from release by the administration, despite the pleas of leaders of both parties on the House and Senate intelligence committees.

Graham also revealed that Gen. Tommy Franks told him on Feb. 19, 2002, just four months after the invasion of Afghanistan, that many important resources -- including the Predator drone aircraft crucial to the search for Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda leaders -- were being shifted to prepare for a war against Iraq.

They might discredit others but Graham has always been HIGHLY regarded by all who served with him...even Richard Clarke's accounts don't have the same credibility Graham brings. As others have said before me, if you vote for Bush it's because you're not paying attention.

Bah, he's only in it for the money. Anyone who writes a book criticizing the Admistration is about the money.



PS - and they hate freedom.

It's a pretty damning thing to say just for the sake of partisan politics. He's within inches of accusing the President of hindering the investigation.

I'm sure the media will ignore it, but this proves what most of have believed for some time...

That allegations and accusations can be enough to sway or cement people's opinions in a presidential campaign?

...or you have a good sense of humor and yearn for the events prophesized by John Titor.

If I hate freedom am I required to write a book? Because I am kind of lazy too.

Hmmmm...

Hmmmm...

Personally, I think he was covertly responding to your "when did Iraq become a focal point in the 'war on terror'" thread.

It just won't be that easy. Bob Graham has spent the majority of his life serving as Govener of Florida and later as Senator. As a Floridian, I can tell you that Dems and Repubs in this state love him for his fairness and honesty and an accusation from him demands attention.

Mustang won't be parted from his dualist shell so easily either.
