Just getting to this WashPost piece on the Saudi flap:

“Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudis, and the report cited a CIA memorandum that said connections between some hijackers and some Saudis living in the United States amounted to “incontrovertible evidence that there is support for these terrorists” from Saudi officials.

The declassified section refers only to “foreign support.” But officials from various branches of the U.S. government said those two words refer to Saudi Arabia.

Much of the new allegations is the result of brief investigations conducted by the Sept. 11 inquiry staff. House and Senate members of the inquiry have repeatedly said they do not know whether the allegations are true, and have criticized the FBI in particular for not pursuing them more quickly, especially the case of a network of businessmen and religious figures in San Diego who provided some of the hijackers with financial and logistical support.

But the report holds out the possibility that the Saudi-related allegations “could reveal legitimate, and innocent, explanations for these associations.””
