UBL's connections to the house of saud are a matter of public record. And I don't know why people are assuming that dropping the body in the ocean wouldn't be part of the original plan.

> UBL's connections to the house of saud are a matter of public record. But not a matter of judicial(judiciary?) record. That's what matters here, not what the public says or think, but hard evidences and testimonies directly exploitable by a judge in order to indict whoever was giving money or supporting AlQaida. A majority of the terrorists during the 9/11 attacks WERE saudis. Imagine 20 Spaniards launch an attack in US killing 3000 people yet because the (Spanish)guy that allegedly financed the attack lives in Austria USA doesn't bother investigating in Spain but launches an attack on Austria... Even worse, a few members of this guys family were in US for a business meeting but were allowed to fly back to Spain the day of the attack while every other civil plain was grounded... That's basically what happened with the BinLaden family on 9/11...

so there are lots of family links in Saudi - hell I used to work for an Arab engineering company who did a lot of work in The Middle east. I bet the head of my department or many of the other partners have met members of Bin Laden's Family

the Bi Laden family have many connections with the Sauidi royal family, but Ossama Bin Laden was completely ideologically opposed to the current Saudi government and Al Qaeda advocates overthrowing it. The relationship is not simple. There are some powerful Saudis who covertly support Al Qaeda and some of them have government connections, but to say that Ossama Bin Kaden had connections to the Saudi Royal Family is so vague and missleading that it just obscures the whole situation.
