The Obama administration has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to protect Saudi Arabia and four of its princes from being held accountable for their alleged role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States that killed almost 3,000 Americans, according to a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

Through its solicitor general, Elena Kagan, the Obama administration has asked that the Saudis be held immune under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, or FSIA, even though there is ample U.S. evidence of complicity by the Saudi government and the named princes in support of al-Qaida's attack.

I am trying to decide between asking someone to "pass the Kool-aid" or "Taking a step through the looking glass with Alice"? Any Suggestions?

Can Someone post what the evidence of complicity is ?

Respectfully,

What ever happened to 'ALL enemies, foreign and domestic'?

We know who the foreign ones are, and we are now seeing the domestic ones...

It was disappointing at the time as a Canadian to hear the misinformation that the highjackers had come from Canada while the family of Osama was allowed to leave the US before the FBI could conduct interviews with them.  Of course the oil money is helping to finance the Wahabi Sect, but does it really do any good to hold the royals accountable?
