Notes from a previously classified interview by the US 9/11 Commission with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the former Saudi ambassador to the United States, were reported earlier this week by journalists at the Florida Bulldog news site.
According to the two-page, single-spaced summary, which Al Jazeera could independently verify, Prince Bandar spent much of the October 7, 2003, interview attempting to highlight what he called the failure of the US in the years before the September 11, 2001, attacks. The interview was not recorded, and no transcript was available, the Florida Bulldog, an independent news site, said.
Prince Bandar accused the US of not following through "in helping the Afghan people to recover from the years of war" in the 1980s, the summary said.

Okay, is this the official from yesterday's news? It doesn't look like he is complicit but his words are very relevant and revealing.
I looked for that other thread to post this in it, but I could not readily find it. This sounds like the official pretty much.
Florida Bulldog interview. Interesting.
