Alanis Should Write the Soundtrack to This


The 20th anniversary of the 911 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the victims' families are telling Joe Biden that they do not want him at the memorial ceremonies unless he releases the files on the involvement of the House of Saud in the attacks.

It's a completely reasonable point to make, Joe Biden is the representative of a government that is shielding some of the people who aided and rabbeted the terrorists who killed thousands of Americans that day.

It's also ……… well ……… Ironic:

Family members of victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks are opposing Joe Biden’s participation in memorial events next month unless he declassifies government documents that they contend will show Saudi Arabian leaders supported the attacks.

The victims’ family members, joined by first responders and survivors of the 2001 attack, released a letter on Friday as the event’s 20th anniversary nears calling on the US president to skip this year’s memorial events unless he releases the documents.

“Twenty years later, there is simply no reason – unmerited claims of ‘national security’ or otherwise – to keep this information secret,” the letter stated. “But if President Biden reneges on his commitment and sides with the Saudi government, we would be compelled to publicly stand in objection to any participation by his administration in any memorial ceremony of 9/11.”

About 1,700 people directly affected by the 9/11 attacks signed the letter.

The Saudi embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

………

Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. A US government commission found no evidence that Saudi Arabia directly funded al-Qaida, leaving open whether individual officials might have.

Saudi Arabia is being sued for billions of dollars by the families of roughly 2,500 of those killed, and by more than 20,000 people who suffered injuries, businesses and various insurers.

………

The families want to prove that Saudi nationals helped support two of the 9/11 hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, in southern California in the months leading up to the attacks – and that support was coordinated by a diplomat in the Saudi embassy in Washington.

They want the US government to remove the gag on evidence in the court case against Riyadh and release the results of an investigation, codenamed Operation Encore, into Saudi complicity in the attacks.

It's been 20 years, so there are very few sources and methods left to protect.

The only reason for this coverup to continue is to protect the worst royal dynasty on earth today, and this fails to serve the needs of the United States, the world, or for that matter the people of the Arabian peninsula.

Release the damn files.
