...spared in this effort, either inside the CIA or the community." But there is little evidence that Tenet shared this declaration with other government agencies. At the National Security Council, top terrorist hunter Richard Clarke was also on a quest to adopt an all-out action plan against bin Laden, and in 2001 he urged the new Administration to do so. But the Bush team slow-walked its strategy through an interagency review for seven months...
...FACING THE SAUDI PROBLEM Perhaps the biggest unsolved mystery left over from the attacks is, How much help--financial and otherwise--does bin Laden get from old friends in Saudi Arabia, and why hasn't the U.S. dealt more harshly with the Saudi problem? Treasury officials have been arguing for months to come down harder on Saudis who were giving cash to known bin Laden charity fronts. Last year Princess Haifa al-Faisal, wife of the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., Prince Bandar bin Sultan, was found to have given money directly to the family of a Saudi...
...satire of Bush is only a shade less vicious.

Mukhlas (pictured), alleged mastermind of the Bali attack, confirmed what investigators have long suspected: Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda had directly funded the Oct. 12, 2002 bombings which killed 202 people. Wan Min, who is being held without trial under terrorism charges in Malaysia and testified by video-link, is Jemaah Islamiah's (JI) putative treasurer, and he confessed to personally delivering the $30,000 used to fund the Bali attack. That was merely the latest in a series of revelations that have...
