The Bin Lauden [sic] family was in Boston on 9-11.

First of all, Bin Laden has 53 siblings. That's a lot of people, and that's if we were only talking about siblings. What do you think the number swells to when considering nieces, nephews, inlaws, cousins...the whole "Bin Laden family," as it were?

To say that "the Bin [Laden] family was in Boston on 9/11" is simply another fabrication. Two have business dealings in, and reside in/near, Boston.

They were whisked out of the country with the cooperation of the FBI.

Yes, that has been discussed. I'd imagine that something a foreign government requests of us is done, if it's done, with "cooperation."

And - as I asked previously, and you chose not to answer: what does that prove or, for that matter, disprove?

Make what you want out of it.

I'm not making anything out of it; that's the point.

You, on the other hand, are making overtures of a Bin Laden-Bush Family connection and alluding, it seems, to some conspiracy.

Bush Sr. and Bin Lauden's [sic] kind...

Bin Laden's "kind"? What are you talking about?

...enjoyed business relationships through the Carlyle Group at last up until 9-11.

I'm only aware of one business relationship; moreover, one business relationship that was terminated before 9/11, and furthermore didn't involve Osama Bin Laden.

Even so, that is unsurprising, not the least of which because - as previously mentioned - the Bin Ladens are an immense and fabulously wealthy family; a family which has, either in word or deed, apparently disowned their fundamentalist son.

And, casting all this aside: are you aware of some of the pre-WWII dealings certain U.S. industrialists had with certain up-and-coming dictators? Did that, too, betray a conspiratorial plot, or was it just the interconnected nature of the world until greater political and economic forces brought them into more particular (which is to say, opposing) alignment(s)?

GW Bush is also reportedly paid something by Carlyle. But they're a private company so you can't check it. Fact.

Where is it "reported" that still Bush is paid by Carlyle? Not that I'm inclined against believing that, anyway, but would prefer to add: so?

Does trailing compensation...let alone a company not being public...necessarily imply something off kilter? Let alone...conspiratorial?

Some say...

Who are these "some"?

...Guliani [sic] turned down the 10 million dollar check from the Saudi prince for specific reasons.

Well, I certainly don't think he did it for "general" or "nonspecific" reasons.

He and the Bin Lauden [sic] type rich families are known to have supported Al Qaida, either willingly or through blackmail.

Certainly, that has been reported.

Reportedly the FBi [sic] was called off investigating this after Bush took office.

And this was "[r]eported" where, and by whom?
