...Craig Unger exposes, among other things, how 140 mainly Saudi nationals were whisked out of the U.S. on private jets in the days immediately following 9/11 while no other commercial aircraft was allowed to leave the tarmac. Unger originally broke the story of the flights in an October 2003 Vanity Fair article. But in last week's Salon article, he lists the actual passenger manifests, and shows how the authorization for the flights came from the highest levels of the White House and the intelligence agencies.

Unger found that passengers on the flights included nearly two dozen members of the bin Laden family, including Osama bin Laden's sister, and, more ominously, a Saudi prince later identified by Abu Zubaydah, the captured Al Qaeda operative alleged to have planned the USS Cole attack, as a fellow Al Qaeda terrorist. In other words, the U.S. government aided the escape of a man who may have been directly involved in the 9/11 attacks. guerrillanews.com
