Taqiyya, plain and simple.
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah has accused Britain of not doing enough to fight international terrorism, which he says could take 20 or 30 years to beat.
He was speaking in a BBC interview ahead of a state visit to the UK - the first by a Saudi monarch for 20 years.
He also said Britain failed to act on information passed by the Saudis which might have averted terrorist attacks.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says Whitehall officials have strenuously denied this.
I'm surprised King Abdullah has time to rat out anyone with all the terrorism he's exporting. It's time for the West to wake and smell the jihad.
"There is so much more stuff about Saudi government involvement, it would blow people's minds."
Sen. Bob Graham of Florida, a Democratic presidential candidate who co-chaired the congressional inquiry, is blunt in describing a role by at least some parts of the Saudi government. Without referring to the Saudis by name, he told U.S. News: "The reality is that the foreign government was much more directly involved in not only the financing but the provision of support--transportation, housing, and introduction to a network which gave support to the terrorists." He says "scores" of contacts occurred between 9/11 hijackers and operatives of "foreign" officials. "They were not rogue agents," he says, but "were being directed by persons of significant responsibility within the government."
Some of us wouldn't be so surprised.
