Did Bush spike an NSA investigation of Saudi charities + shift to US

[EVDebs]

citizens who opposed him ? Is this the real reason for the domestic wiretapping fiasco and stonewalling ? Is this why Dems on Sunday danced all over hoping to ignore the Saudi connections to all of this, yet let slide when US citizens are spied upon ? No wonder Prince Turki had a ringside seat at the SOTU speech. He was looking out for his investment.

Did the Bush admin spike the NSA's investigation of OBL ?

""Despite these tantalizing facts, Abdullah and his operations were A-OK with the FBI chiefs, if not their working agents. Just a dumb SNAFU? Not according to a top-level CIA operative who spoke with us on condition of strictest anonymity. After Bush took office, he said, "there was a major policy shift" at the National Security Agency. Investigators were ordered to "back off" from any inquiries into Saudi Arabian financing of terror networks, especially if they touched on Saudi royals and their retainers. That put the bin Ladens, a family worth a reported $12 billion and a virtual arm of the Saudi royal household, off-limits for investigation. Osama was the exception; he remained a wanted man, but agents could not look too closely at how he filled his piggy bank. The key rule of any investigation, "follow the money," was now violated, and investigations -- at least before 9/11 -- began to die.""

The NSA was looking into Islamic charities early and before 9-11. Shortly after 9-11 BushCo spiked the NSA's investigations. Why ? Fitz now can ask himself this question.

How this bumbling incompetence was ALLOWED to go on needs to be investigated. Do the 'Jersey Girls' know about this ? They'll kick some buttocks in DC and get to the bottom of this.
