This is funny, too. Well, to me, anyway:
Top 11 reasons references to Saudi Arabia were omitted from the White House transcript of the bin Laden videotape.
11. Seemed unfair: only 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.
10. $1.09.99 Unleaded
9. "Saudi?" It sounded like "Zowie," on the tape, so we left it out.
8. Reverse Product Placement: They paid to have their country excluded.
7. Some edits had to be made to tighten-up the flow of the narrative.
6. s, a, u, d, i, keys on keyboard sometimes stick.
5. Saudi kids just fell in with the wrong crowd, like Atta of Egypt (whose nationality is mentioned in the transcript).
4. Spell check turned every instance of "Saudi" into "Taliban."
3. Saudi translators.
2. It was a condition of Saudi intelligence before bringing the CIA in to videotape, but not capture, bin Laden.
1. Ken Lay said so. |
