(via Instapundit) An article in the Sydney Morning Herald discusses Saudi "man on the street" reactions to the 9/11 and accusations that their citizenry was deeply involved.

Abdullah Al Gathani, a student of computer science, managed to get much of the Saudi arguments into one bitter spray, in which he regurgitated conspiracy theories that are becoming accepted as fact by many in this region: "I'm being punished because of Osama bin Laden - the US will not grant me a student visa. What happened on September 11 was too big for 19 people to do - I think the Americans did it themselves; that's why the Jews on Wall Street didn't go to work that day."

The remainder of the article is a survey of the places the hijackers grew up, Saudi society, and economic conditions.
