Time for an explanation, Mr. Bush
Newly released government records reveal previously undisclosed flights from Las Vegas and elsewhere and point to a more active role by the FBI in aiding some Saudis in their departure just after Sept. 11, 2001.
The FBI gave personal airport escorts to two prominent Saudi families who fled the United States, and several other Saudis were allowed to leave the country without first being interviewed, the documents show.
The Saudi families, in Los Angeles and Orlando, requested the FBI escorts because they said they were concerned for their safety in the wake of the attacks, the documents show. (more…)
For starters, what I found pretty interesting here was that it was the Conservative group Judicial Watch that first released this story to the press.
Next, why on earth were the Saudis given special treatment during this time under the guise of “ensuring their safety” while most of the country was not permitted to fly?
If Bush and the rest of the Republican party can rally together into the wee hours of the morning in support of Schiavo, then there should not be any problems for this same “Conservative” group to give “We the people” an explanation concerning this special treatment to the Saudis during a time of high security.

It’s not information that wasn’t covered in Michael Moore’s
Fahrenheit 9/11. :o)
You really should watch that movie when you get a chance, it’s interesting.
