One of the more disturbing revelations in Graham’s book Intelligence Matters is how the CIA and the White House “classified” entire sections of the report from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that dealt with Saudi government and the assistance that government gave to some and possibly all of the September 11th terrorists (27 pages). Graham and Senator Shelby re-read all 27 pages and determined that 95 percent of it would have no national security risks involved (but apprarently the White House considered it too “politically risky”, and I suppose in Dick Cheney’s mind, given his “we’ll get hit again if the American people make the wrong choice, this makes it a National Security risk in his way of looking at it)

“It was ironic to me that a President who had initially thought that Iraq must have been the perpretrator of September 11, becuase only a nation state could have carried out such a sophisticated and violent attack and avoid detection for twenty one months, had now concluded that a nation-state that HAD aided the terrorists should not be held publically to account. Again, it was as if the President’s loyalty lay more with Saudi Arabia than with America’s safety”
(from p. 216)

Graham has raised publically , in a book released nearly a month ago, and obviously other news agencies know about, information that would seem to be a certain scandal of epic proportions and worthy of eliciting intense anger and accusations of betrayal from a very large contingency of Americans. WHY hasn’t this been all over the news? What’s keeping the media from covering this?
