This was one of the first and easiest of MM's lies to expose. From /59 Deceits/ by Dave Kopel (http://www.davekopel.com/Terror/Fift...enheit-911.htm): "No commercial planes, including chartered flights, were permitted to fly into, out of, or within the United States until September 13, 2001. After the airspace reopened, six chartered flights with 142 people, mostly Saudi Arabian nationals, departed from the United States between September 14 and 24. One flight, the so-called Bin Ladin flight, departed the United States on September 20 with 26 passengers, most of them relatives of Usama Bin Ladin. We have found no credible evidence that any chartered flights of Saudi Arabian nationals departed the United States before the reopening of national airspace. The Saudi flights were screened by law enforcement officials, primarily the FBI, to ensure that people on these flights did not pose a threat to national security, and that nobody of interest to the FBI with regard to the 9/11 investigation was allowed to leave the country. Thirty of the 142 people on these flights were interviewed by the FBI, including 22 of the 26 people (23 passengers and 3 private security guards) on the Bin Ladin flight. Many were asked detailed questions. None of the passengers stated that they had any recent contact with Usama Bin Ladin or knew anything about terrorist activity. The FBI checked a variety of databases for information on the Bin Ladin flight passengers and searched the aircraft. It is unclear whether the TIPOFF terrorist watchlist was checked. At our request, the Terrorist Screening Center has rechecked the names of individuals on the flight manifests of these six Saudi flights against the current TIPOFF watchlist. There are no matches. The FBI has concluded that nobody was allowed to depart on these six flights who the FBI wanted to interview in connection with the 9/11 attacks, or who the FBI later concluded had any involvement in those attacks. To date, we have uncovered no evidence to contradict this conclusion." But again, why let the truth intrude on your outrage? Bill "read the rest of it while you're at it" S. |

In my experience, most drivers have very few encounters with bikers. I've been driving for 35 years and have rarely encountered a biker on the road, and never encountered one that irritated me for any reason; much the same way we hardly ever see an accident actually happen when driving, yet they're extremely common. However I get your point and don't have an argument with that. -B |

ROTFLMAO Oh, so that's all right then. It doesn't even say they stated that they *hadn't* had contact with Bin Laden, or *didn't* know anything about terrorist activities. Just that the didn't say they *had* (I wonder if they were actually asked). ROTFLMAO some more. I can just picture the scene: Bush (to head of FBI) Just go and ask those Saudi folk about what they had for breakfast (in detail), and if they don't actually admit to chatting to Osama in the last few days, or engaging in terrorist activity, you can let them go.
