I can see only a few explanations for the Saudi stuff.
1. Islamic fundies in SA gave money indiscriminately to jihadi types who were into the same extreme form of Islam as they are. Fighting for the cause was considered a legitimate approach but it had to be unstated and done "under the radar". The fin support may have ended up in fundis who were involved in 9/11... This was learned after the fact and revealing this discovery reveals how incompetent our "intel" was re funding of fundis.
2. Islamic fundies wanted to trick the USA into a war in the ME taking on the states/religions which they couldn't do in a legitimate war. It was in a sense a "false flag" which the US reacted to in a completely predictable manner... trying to use 9/11 as an excuse to take out Saddam who was not kowtowing to the West on oil matters and was an apparent enemy of our BFF Israel... who also wanted Saddam gone. GWB's boys wanted at the Iraqi oil and had meetings to that effect when GWB first took office. 9/11 was used as the pretext to go for it.
Revealing the SA funding of jihadies would open a pandora's box revealing that our foreign policy was not about national security as much as controlling the ME and the oil market. It would reveal how incompetent our intel was and how disconnected it was from the stated policies... and how close GWB's oil buddies were to the apparatus of foreign policy. The patriotic "war" was a scam... and millions died and trillions were wasted. Result is chaos in ME and more terrorists. Big winner was the MIC...
