Saudi Arabia and the U.S. Intelligence Community: Allies Against 9/11 Transparency?

While the people behind this website, most often families of 9/11 victims, have relentlessly pursued the truth behind the 9/11 tragedy, their political analysis of the event falls short due to a naive understanding of capitalist geopolitics.
Saudi Arabia’s reasons for wanting the 28 pages kept secret are clear, but what about America’s intelligence community? Actually, its motives are likely identical: Shielding itself from public humiliation and the consequences that would accompany it.
Saudi Arabia is a key ally in the Empire's ruling class due to the fact of their enormous oil resources and the deal engineered in the 1970s by Kissinger (see this or this) to insure that their country lent its support to the dollar by selling oil only in US dollars and storing their money in US banks in return for protection. This medieval kingdom would have long ago disappeared into history without this protection and the US dollar would have become nearly worthless. This is why the US can sustain it's trillion dollar annual deficits, fund its huge military, 1000 plus military bases all over the world, and fund it's subversive activities all for the purpose of serving the Empire's ruling capitalist class.
