Anybody know what this is about?

If they commit a crime and are arrested, they are spirited out of the U.S. once they are out on bail.

The Oregonian did a big article on it:

Right wing love of oil at its best!

All rethugians roads, that is.

That left the u.s.the days after 9/11....remember those ???

Craig Unger, OpEd New York Times, 2004

Excerpt...

In addition, new evidence shows that the evacuation involved more than the departure of 142 Saudis on six charter flights that the commission is investigating. According to newly released documents, 160 Saudis left the United States on 55 flights immediately after 9/11 -- making a total of about 300 people who left with the apparent approval of the Bush administration, far more than has been reported before. The records were released by the Department of Homeland Security in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Judicial Watch, a conservative, nonpartisan watchdog group in Washington.

The vast majority of the newly disclosed flights were commercial airline flights, not charters, often carrying just two or three Saudi passengers. They originated from more than 20 cities, including Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit and Houston. One Saudi Arabian Airlines flight left Kennedy Airport on Sept. 13 with 46 Saudis. The next day, another Saudi Arabian Airlines flight left with 13 Saudis.

The panel has indicated that it has yet to find any evidence that the F.B.I. checked the manifests of departing flights against its terror watch list. The departures of additional Saudis raise more questions for the panel. Richard Clarke, the former counterterrorism czar, told The Hill newspaper recently that he took full responsibility for approving some flights. But we don't know if other Bush administration officials participated in the decision.

For the most recent info. All the info being found so nicely fits into what many of os concluded from day one of 9/11.......

No surprise.

I know the Saudis escaped the US right after they helped perpetrate 9/11. That would be in the Cheney regime.

But hasn't this also happened before and after 9/11? In other administrations?

This is the result of building an economy based on the extraction of dinosaur fuel under sand far away. We have surrendered our sovereignty to this addiction.

This is the tragic story of my neighbor, Fallon Smart, and the efforts put forth by the Saudi royal family to protect their entitled princes.

This government is not our ally. Don't forget how Saudis were spirited out of the country on 911.

They probably wouldn't have any use for this POtuS after he was no longer in a position to shield the Saudi royals from assasinating journalists.

The Pensacola shooting was deemed an act of terrorism. The US is kicking out at least 20 Saudi military students as a result of the terrorist attack. Why aren't we prosecuting them for terrorism?

and were determined to not be engaged in terroristic activities. (other unethical and illegal activities)

You can argue that determination -- but that is the answer to your question.
