Crowbat,

I have seen several US media reports and blog columns on the "missing pages" from the 9/11 inquiry in recent days, but refrained from posting them here. Presumably our many Americans readers have seen them too.

For the Saudis (KSA) now to increase the diplomatic and financial pressure to prevent a bill becoming law, which is stuck in Congress comes as no surprise.

It also makes the recent deal between Egypt and KSA over the two islands in the Straits of Tiran even more interesting. Notably will the KSA really allow a US-manned MFO outpost to remain on now sovereign KSA territory? See this young, thin thread:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=23819
