12. Regarding the Saudi flights -- they're spinning a half-truth.
There are TWO parts to the Saudi flight business. The FIRST part are the flights that happened INSIDE the U.S. to pick up over 100 scattered members of the Bin Laden and Saudi royal families to bring them to a central location. It is THESE flights that occurred while all other commerical flights were still grounded.

There were NOT just "26" Saudis, there were over 100 involved -- out of which only 22(?) (don't remember exact #) were interviewed.

So, it's true that the Saudis flew out of the U.S. after the flight ban was lifted -- but they were flown inside the U.S. while all other flights were grounded.

The media whores will obfuscate the issues as much as they can, just remember that they will blithely lie through ommission -- leaving out part of the truth, and then attacking what's left.
