A Few Thoughts On The 28 Redacted Pages
A Few Thoughts On The 28 Redacted Pages

After re-listening to my interview with Bob Graham, I THINK the incident regarding Princess Haifa (Bandar's wife) IS listed in the 28 redacted pages, but since that information was leaked, he no longer considers them a "28 page issue." Or a "redacted" issue.
Starting from 26:00 and listen especially to 28:17: https://archive.org/details/jonandgraham
However, I do think based on something else he said, Bandar MAY be listed in the 28 redacted pages for another reason. That is NOT a fact. Just a hunch. The Princess Haifa issue is NOT addressed in the 9/11 Report, but a monograph released by the 9/11 Commission said "Despite persistent public speculation, there is NO EVIDENCE (emphasis mine) that the hijackers who initially settled in San Diego, Mihdhar and Hazmi, received funding from Saudi citizens Omar al Bayoumi and Osama Bassnan, or that Saudi Princess Haifa al Faisal provided any funds to the hijackers either directly or indirectly."

"Administration officials reluctantly confirmed to NEWSWEEK that money had moved from Princess Haifa's account to al-Bayoumi, but they stressed that they do not know the purpose of the payments or whether any Saudi officials were even aware of them. "The facts are unclear, and there's no need to rush to judgment," said one administration official."
This is one of the reasons why I think Bandar may be mentioned elsewhere.

"While in Texas, it is believed that Basnan “met with a high Saudi prince who has responsibilities for intelligence matters and is known to bring suitcases full of cash into the United States.” The still-classified section of the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry is said to discuss the possibility of Basnan meeting this figure at this time."

"How rich is Bandar? A friend of mine used to drive for the prince. I can't mention the name for fear of a fatwa, but I was told that there were often suitcases taken off the prince's airplanes that were literally bulging with cash."
