The Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into
9/11 and former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob
Graham, revealed that the White House refused to let the 9/11
inquiry interview one of the most important witnesses imaginable:
Senator Bob Graham, the Florida Democrat who is a former chairman
of the Senate Intelligence Committee, accused the White House
on Tuesday of covering up evidence that might have linked Saudi
Arabia to the Sept. 11 hijackers.

The accusation stems from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's
refusal to allow investigators for a Congressional inquiry and
the independent Sept. 11 commission to interview an informant,
Abdussattar Shaikh, who had been the landlord in San Diego of
two Sept. 11 hijackers.
In his book "Intelligence Matters," Mr. Graham, the
co-chairman of the Congressional inquiry with Representative
Porter J. Goss, Republican of Florida, said an F.B.I. official
wrote them in November 2002 and said "the administration
would not sanction a staff interview with the source.'' On Tuesday,
Mr. Graham called the letter "a smoking gun" and said,
"The reason for this cover-up goes right to the White House."

This isn't some fresh-face kid talking. This is a consummate
insider: the former head of senate intelligence and co-chair of
the congressional 9/11 inquiry.
If the White House refused to allow an interview of a government
informant who was landlord to two of the hijackers -- one of the
most valuable leads it could possibly pursue -- what other investigations
did it spike? And if the White House killed an investigation to,
allegedly, protect its Saudi friends, how much more motivated
would the White House have been to kill investigations into areas
which implicated elements of the U.S. government itself?
