I guess that is what CSPAN is for. I didn't see it reported anywhere that Bush had the bin Ladens flown out of the country after 9-11 either? He did this while every other plane was grounded. Do you believe that Bush let bin Laden's family fly out of the country? Fact or Fiction? Orca

Bin Laden family allowed 9/11 leave washingtontimes.com <<NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- The bin Laden family were granted extraordinary White House privileges to fly out of U.S. airspace following the attacks of Sept. 11th, 2001. Former White House counter terrorism expert Richard Clarke told Vanity Fair the Bush administration decided to allow a group of Saudis to fly out of U.S. airspace just after Sept. 11-- a time when access to the United States was still restricted and required special government approval. According to the magazine's sources, at least four flights with about 140 Saudis, including roughly two-dozen members of the bin Laden family, flew to Saudi Arabia that week without even being interviewed or interrogated by the FBI. Clarke, who headed the counter terrorism security group of the National Security Council, said he does not now recall who initiated the request for approval. He said it was probably either the FBI or the State Department, both of which have denied playing any such role.>> And why were 29 pages of the 9-11 report blacked out? Don't you wonder what went on with all of this? Orca
