Qaeda/Saudi link?

Senator Bob Graham, in his new book "Intelligence Matters," asserts their were ties between Al Qaeda and Saudi Arabia, and that the Bush Administration is doing all they can to cover things up:

US Senator Bob Graham, intelligence committee chairman in the run-up to the Iraq war, says the Bush administration has "taken every step" to shield Saudi Arabia from links to the September 11 attacks.

The Florida Democrat in 2002 helped launch a joint inquiry with the House Intelligence Committee that produced a report on intelligence failures related to the September 11 attacks.

He told NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday that his new book, "Intelligence Matters," makes the case on "the extent to which Saudi Arabia was a key part of making 9/11 happen."

"Yet this administration has taken every step to obfuscate, avoid and cover up Saudi Arabia's actions," he added.

Excerpts from Graham's book, which goes on sale on Tuesday, showed that at least two of the hijackers had support from Omar al-Bayoumi, whom the senator called a Saudi government spy and said was a "ghost employee" of a Saudi contracting firm, Erean. The owner of the firm, Graham said, was thought to be a supporter of Osama bin Laden.

It seems speculative at best for now, but I'm sure the Bush Administration is so innocent of the claims they will form a committee to investigate them anyway. Terrorism is their number one issue, after all, and any country that helps the terrorists is just as guilty according to Bush. Better safe than sorry, right George?
