For your information, Kevin Phillips documented the James Bath investment long before Moore. You should read Phillips' book American Dynasty. Bath injected $50,000 into two Arbusto partnerships in 1979 and 1980. Gee, that time frame would seem to coincide with the period when Carter started arming the insurgents in Afghanistan. I'm curious. Did Michael "Half-Truth" Moore mention a dollar amount in his movie?

The FBI interviewed every single Saudi of interest (to them) prior to their departure from the U.S.

Why do you keep ignoring the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission report which stated that it was Richard Clarke that approved the departure of the Saudis post 9/11? Clarke was used to having this type of authority. Read Steve Cole's Ghost Wars. He had cabinet level status on terrorism issues. Its tragic that he let his ego get in the way when there was a change in administration. Nobody has ever denied that he had a lot to offer.

Clarke's testimony before Congress on the flights was a bit disingenuous. As I have said before, Clarke made the right decision. Kudos to Clarke. There was nothing to gain by making the Saudis political pawns.
