I think it's safe to say most Americans have serious problems with our relationship with the Saudis. But we'd much bigger problems if their government were an enemy. And bin Laden is not a reason to make an enemy of them. THey hate him as much as we do. Jordan is a close ally and Zarqawi was Jordanian.

Please! That's a lame explanation for Saudi Arabia being a terrorist state that had a hand, whether indirect or direct in 9/11. They may loathe bin Laden only because of the attention to them that he drew. But they loathe us for our support of Israel, yet smile in our faces when they provide us crude.
Americans are correct to have a problem with Saudi Arabia. Their oil money, which we've in part provided them, has instilled countless acts of terrorism.
All along we should have invaded and taken over that country, not Iraq.
So again, if you at all know the answer: Did the Saudis make any attempt to freeze bin Laden's reported billions of dollars?
