As the administrative supervisor of the 9-11 commission, Zelicow was a key figure in the creation of the official 9-11 narrative. He was very efficient too, in fact he had started writing about 9-11 and it's aftermath 3 years before the attacks. See vid below.
'Zelikow acknowledged, however, that he has come to believe that some Saudi officials had privately become radicalized Islamists and may have stepped out of their government roles to help the 9/11 hijackers in some way. Such a theory has gained wider acceptance among some terrorism experts in recent years as more evidence of Saudi links to 9/11 emerged.
At issue in the larger debate over the alleged Saudi links to 9/11 is whether these officials were acting with the approval or knowledge of their government. Zelikow clearly sides with those who believe that if Saudi officials helped the 9/11 hijackers, they did so on their own, not with the backing of the kingdom's top officials.
"I think it's important to talk about these people as individuals and not under the label as 'Saudi officials,'" Zelikow said. "If they were helping al-Qaida, they were not acting as Saudi government officials. They would have been acting as underground rebels within their government, and there were such rebels on the vast Saudi public payroll."
This information was provided to Zelicow while he was licking a toad in New Mexico.
... in this extract at least Zelicow doesn't explain, justify or expand on his cop-out assertion that:
"...it's important to talk about these people as individuals and not under the label as 'Saudi officials...if they were helping al-Qaida, they were not acting as Saudi government officials. They would have been acting as underground rebels within their government.."
Why not? How can he be at all certain that the group was not being directed, funded and protected by one or two top Saudi government officials ?

'“I think we’ll never be able to repay the families back for what exactly happened just over 20 years ago,” DeChambeau told CNN’s Kaitlin Collins. “And what happened is definitely horrible. I think as time has gone, 20 years have passed and we’re in a place where it’s time to start trying to work together to make things better together as a whole. ' ... “I think as we move forward from that, we’ve got to look towards the pathway to peace, especially in forgiveness, especially if we’re trying to mend the world and make it a better place.'
I suspect the families might like to know precisely who they are supposed to be forgiving. Perhaps they could guess and wait for the government to confirm it to their grandchildren.
