| Scandal Rocks Fox News Over Saudi Terror Link |
| 2015-02-09 |
| [CounterjihadReport] Fox News Correspondent James Rosen reported on Wednesday night that a âmajor investor in the parent companyâ of Fox News has been implicated in financing the terrorist group al-Qaeda. Rosen made the embarrassing disclosure in a story on the channelâs âSpecial Reportâ show hosted by Bret Baier. Rosen, a hard-charging investigative reporter, really had no alternative but to cover the damaging disclosures. The allegations were made by Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker of 9/11, and provided in the form of a sworn statement to attorneys for families of 9/11 victims for their lawsuit against Saudi Arabia. He is serving a life sentence at a supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. To its credit, the Fox News website is now running a follow-up story noting that the new charges are prompting calls for the declassification and release of 28 classified pages of the full report on 9/11. The role of Saudi Arabia in the attacks is said to be a major topic covered in the 28 pages. |

| #8 "The allegations were made by Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker of 9/11." Moussaoui is a very poor source. He's somewhat unstable mentally and while it's clear he had some connection to 9/11 (he famously made it clear he didn't need to learn how to land when he was at flight school), it's highly doubtful that he was at a level to know anything about important funders. Anyone who knows about interrogation knows that lots of false information can emerge and allegations need to be vetted and cross-checked. Taking an allegation at face value that hasn't been corroborated is unprofessional and one of the reasons "raw intelligence" is treated with caution. |

| #5 Al Qaeda funding will be prince Turki al-Feisal, for years the director of the Saudi General Intelligence Service. Posted by Ulique Pelosi8805 And we are all quite familiar with the current holder of that office and his long and intimate connections here in the States. |

| #3 Saudis funding terrorism are the same people funding the government over here and various businesses? Master of the Obvious award with "Sun rises in east" cluster. |

| #2 When that report is finally released, almost certainly one name to figure most prominently in Al Qaeda funding will be prince Turki al-Feisal, for years the director of the Saudi General Intelligence Service. |
