I do not understand it either, but I also do not begin to fully understand the politics of the Middle East and it's long and vast history. From what I can see, the United States has always had a friendly relationship with the Saudis, they sold us their oil, we made them rich, and we protected them from Iraq when Saddam invaded Kuwait. I understand the United States has handled some things in the Middle East poorly and with horrible results, but our relationship with the Saudis has always been good.

I do not see a US Government connection (yet), but it sure is odd how the Bush administration handled itself directly after 9/11. The Bush family made it's money in oil, and had very close relationships with the Saudis on multiple levels. Instead of detaining these people directly after 9/11 when it was painfully obvious that there was a Saudi connection, the Bush administration went out of it's way to protect these people and quietly escorted them out of the country.
There sure are a lot of unanswered questions here.
