I always thought Michael Moore was a nut case too. Please tell me the stuff I link below is not true. I mean this is just too weird. Don't you think maybe President Bush should answer some of these questions raised? Why have I not heard David Gregory ask him "What do Saudi Arabia and 9/11 have in common?" ::: FROM WIKIPEDIA Michael Moore's highly critical documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 alleges strong business connections between the Bush political family and the bin Laden family. Moore based most of his claims on Craig Unger's House of Bush, House of Saud which relates how Salem bin Laden invested through James R. Bath, the sole U.S. business representative for Salem bin Laden, some money in Arbusto Energy, a company run by George W. Bush [1]. On the morning of September 11, 2001, George W. Bush's father, George H. W. Bush, was meetingwith Osama bin Laden's brother, Shafig bin Laden, in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Washington, on Carlyle Group business. Two days later, 13 bin Ladens were cleared by the White House to fly out of the United States when overseas flights were again cleared for departure. The New York Times reported that they were quickly called together by officials from the Saudi Embassy, which feared that they might become the victims of American reprisals. With approval from the F.B.I., according to a Saudi official, the bin Ladens flew by private jet from Los Angeles to Orlando, then on to Washington, D.C. and finally to Boston. Once the FAA permitted overseas flights, the jet flew to Europe. en.wikipedia.org
