9/11: What You Ought to Know (Greg Palast / Guerrilla News Network)
Shortly after George W. Bush took office the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the FBI, "were told to back off the Saudis." I pressed him to tell me exactly which investigations were spiked. ... Ultimately, the insider said, "Khan Labs." At the time, our intelligence agencies were on the trail of Pakistan's Dr. Strangelove, A.Q. Khan, who built Pakistan's bomb and was selling its secrets to the Libyans. But once Bush and Condoleeza Rice's team took over, the source told us, agents were forced to let a hot trail go cold. Specifically, there were limits on tracing the Saudi money behind this "Islamic bomb."
