#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.

#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.
