Manifest Raises Questions About Saudi Flights After 9/11 (Tom Flocco)
"List and testimony indicates FBI may have allowed alleged hijacker's kin to leave U.S. with son of Saudi defense minister without questioning them. ... The White House had originally asserted that flights evacuating Saudis from the United States after 9/11 never existed, but author Craig Unger obtained flight manifest lists which were drawn up by the Saudi embassy. Alhazmi's associates received continued payments of $3,500. per month from Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, wife of Saudi Crown Prince Bandar bin Sultan who is Ambassador to the United States... Both Saudis visited President Bush's Texas ranch in late August, 2002--before this news broke --but Americans will never hear Mr. Bush publicly discuss the contents of their conversations, or Bandar and Haifa's signed checks made out to terrorist associates through his uncle's Riggs Bank. Bush and Cheney will not be under oath, allowing joint corroboration of each other's testimony on-the-spot regarding their actions during the key two hour time-line of the actual attacks--thus avoiding possible future perjury charges and/or impeachment proceedings."
