Via Instapundit: Fresh evidence submitted in a major 9/11 lawsuit moving forward against the Saudi Arabian government reveals its embassy in Washington may have funded a “dry run” for the hijackings carried out by two Saudi employees, further reinforcing the claim employees and agents of the kingdom directed and aided the 9/11 hijackers and plotters.
Two years before the airliner attacks, the Saudi Embassy paid for two Saudi nationals, living undercover in the US as students, to fly from Phoenix to Washington “in a dry run for the 9/11 attacks,” alleges the amended complaint filed on behalf of the families of some 1,400 victims who died in the terrorist attacks 16 years ago.
The court filing provides new details that paint “a pattern of both financial and operational support” for the 9/11 conspiracy from official Saudi sources, lawyers for the plaintiffs say. In fact, the Saudi government may have been involved in underwriting the attacks from the earliest stages — including testing cockpit security.

Read the piece.
It relies on longstanding and close relationships between al Qaeda and the religious components of the Saudi government to make its case.
Saudi Arabia is why the First Amendment talks about an establishment of religion - a law or set of laws making one religion the law of the land.
The suit is no different than the contention that the Vatican was pro-Nazi because some its officials were anti-Semitic.
Like it or not, the Sauds are the target of the crazies even more than we are because they are doing business with the West.
Wrong on several counts. President Pissy did more for the crazies than Presidents going back to Woody Wilson combined.
And we have people funding these cutthroats. Dr Evil, f'rinstance.
The SA government is bi-polar (or tri-polar), like ours. There is a religious contingent that fawns over and encourages the islamist statist autocratic crazies, an establishment contingent that goes along with a certain amount of "aid" for appeasement purposes, and the grown-ups who deal in the real world with the U.S. and Israel.
