White House authorized departure of Bin Laden's family |
"The other story that made me erupt with righteous indignation is the story
this morning in the NY Times
(http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/04/politics/04SAUD.html)
affirming that the White House authorized the bin Laden family "evacuation"
from the US during the time that flights were suspended after 9/11.
This story has been out there from early days and those who placed any
credence in the story were derided as dupes and 5th columnists.
With all that honor and dignity swirling around the oval office, you would
have thought that somebody would have been concerned about whether it was
right to spirit a bunch of Saudis out of the country rather than "protect"
them from the supposed howling mob by putting them in protective custody
until matters became clearer.
Meanwhile, the FBI was rounding up thousands of Middle Eastern men all over
the country, many held for months on end with no legal representation, even
eventually trumping up charges of thought crimes against a handful of
dumbshits who failed to be born into rich Saudi "friends of Bandar"
families."

You mean the NY Times finally got into this story?
Hell.....it was published in several books months ago.

That's the point of the Hullabaloo piece. It states (as you quoted) that
the story has been out for months, but that this is the first time that any
participant in that decision has admitted to it. I'd say that makes it
newsworthy.
