The long-secret 28-29 pages of the 9/11 Commission's report have been released by the U.S. House Intelligence Committee, albeit in a redacted form:
"According to various FBI documents and CIA memorandum, some of the September 11 hijackers, while in the United States, apparently had contacts with individuals who may be connected to the Saudi Government," the report said, giving a catalog of alleged links.
They included reported contacts between Saudis in California and a statement that a man who was reportedly a Saudi Interior Ministry official stayed at the same Virginia hotel as one hijacker in September 2001.
Another section said that Omar al-Bayoumi, said to be a Saudi intelligence officer, met with two hijackers at a public place after they arrived in San Diego. It said, citing FBI files, that his salary rose to $3,700 a month from $465 two months after two of the hijackers arrived in California.
One page described how two of the hijackers asked flight attendants technical questions during a trip in 1999 from Phoenix to Washington to attend a party at the Saudi embassy. One tried twice to enter the cockpit. The plane made an emergency landing and the FBI investigated, but did not prosecute.
Here are the documents, available at Cryptome or House.gov. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence says that the release of the documents is not an indication that the intelligence community agrees with their accuracy. Apparently, many of the leads mentioned have been investigated by the FBI and found to have no basis in fact.
So, SoylentNews readers, did the Saudis do 9/11?

yeah, i think it's pretty clear that the pentagon was hit by a missile, flight 93 was shot down, and several WTC buildings were demolished by pros after the planes crashed into two of them. Who did it? I don't know enough about gov's black ops demo teams to guess what country's team was used to blow up the WTC buildings(mossad, pakistanis?), but it was surely not some random goat humpers. the highjackers could easily be sourced from wahabi saudi groups and wouldn't have to be in on the big picture. they could just be given their chance to strike a blow for victory against the great satan. the miltary personell responsible for the flight 93 shoot down probably wouldn't take much force to get them to keep quiet. who wants to be that guy anyways. The pentagon could have been managed a few different ways. feed bad info, sabotage instruments, etc. whoever pushed the button probably doesn't want to try and prove their conspiracy theory. Black ops demo teams(could just be a few people, with more time.) probably don't talk much about their work. All of this means coordination means at least some high level US personnel knew something. Probably not the most public of them though. Why have them acting when they could be actually surprised on TV? This kind of power is what keeps politicians in line too.
