Now the Saudi's want them to say. As I said before, hmmmm.

Nope, every group I have been part of was always able to identify the issue(s), now as to solutions, that is a different story. The language that the report used is extremely clear that they neither had the authority nor the ability to ascertain whether or not the Saudi Arabian government played a hand in 9/11. I would say that it is unlikely that the Kingdom played an active role; this doesn’t mean that persons employed by the Kingdom didn’t assist. Of course the Saudis want to know what the inquiry team speculated, but I think that our President, with the advice of his staff (more than likely the State Department), did the right thing by censoring that information until it can be verified or proven false. Not having read it myself I can’t form an opinion one way or another as to how damning the 28 pages are or if they even shed any light as to any foreign nations involvement.
