Flurry of Calls Among Saudi Staff and Spy Coincided with 9/11 Hijackers’ Arrival
Not trying to be a negative Nancy here, but I did read (most) of TFA and was underwhelmed.<p>That Saudi nationals were involved in the 9&#x2F;11 attacks isn&#x27;t news.<p>That they had money and support (including from folks inside the US) isn&#x27;t news.<p>That multiple Federal and state law &quot;enforcement&quot; and intelligence agencies had information about the potential for these attacks isn&#x27;t news.<p>That those agencies didn&#x27;t put all that information together and <i>stop</i> those attacks isn&#x27;t news.<p>That declassified documents confirm what we already knew and&#x2F;or suspected is mildly interesting, but hardly news.<p>I didn&#x27;t get to the end of the article (after six or seven iterations of &quot;so what?&quot; I gave up), so I don&#x27;t know if there was some sort of attempt to create a conspiracy theory or to bash the US government, both and&#x2F;or other stuff.<p>But almost 21 years on, I couldn&#x27;t manage much more than a &quot;meh&quot; based on the information provided.<p>I&#x27;m sure that all this documentation will be a wonderful trove for future historians, but I&#x27;m not sure what it adds at the moment.<p>Edit:  I initially erased ten years of history.  Fixed now.
