A member of the 9/11 commission has broken his silence about some of the unreleased findings:

A former Republican member of the 9/11 commission, breaking dramatically with the commission's leaders, said Wednesday he believes there was clear evidence that Saudi government employees were part of a support network for the 9/11 hijackers and that the Obama administration should move quickly to declassify a long-secret congressional report on Saudi ties to the 2001 terrorist attack.

The comments by John F Lehman, an investment banker in New York who was Navy secretary in the Reagan administration, signal the first serious public split among the 10 commissioners since they issued a 2004 final report that was largely read as an exoneration of Saudi Arabia, which was home to 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11.

    This page appears to be a pretty comprehensive list of statements and/or videos released by Osama bin Laden. A couple of the latest videos were controversial, in that, some claimed they were released by imposters. But, even accounting for that possibility, bin Laden appeared in videos as late as 2005 - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4628932.stm [bbc.co.uk]

    That BBC site is not opening in https.

    Videos can and have been faked and you know that, being a science person and all that.

    Your american government lies all the time, so cannot be believed even if they spoke the truth some day. But most choose to believe them anyway.

    "controversial, " you bet your black ass they were controversial wearing a gold ring, writing with right hand.

      So - you suspect that those videos released by Al Jazeera and other mid- and far-eastern news sources were all released in collusion with the CIA. Sounds reasonable - NOT!
