Al-Qaeda linked Saudi flown out of US after 9/11 -- Salon War Room

The Saudis' special U.S. flight privileges

Though the Bush White House has previously asserted that flights evacuating Saudi nationals from the United States just after 9/11 never took place, it may want to have a look at some documents made public today on the web site of journalist and author Craig Unger. The documents obtained by Unger and discussed in his new book "House of Bush, House of Saud," contain four passenger lists drawn up by the Saudi embassy for flights that were part of a White House-sanctioned evacuation just days after the terrorist attacks, when U.S. air space was still highly restricted.

The Bush family's deep ties with the Saudi royal family are no secret. But while the evacuations may have been allowed by the White House for fear of retribution against Saudis inside the U.S. -- especially once the American public learned that 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers were their fellow countrymen -- some national security experts believe that vital intelligence may have flown away with the group.

But on one flight list is Prince Ahmed bin Salman, best known as a horse racing aficionado and owner of the Kentucky Derby winner War Emblem -- but who also allegedly had ties to al-Qaida, and, according to journalists Unger and Gerald Posner, may even have had advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks. In 2002, Prince Ahmed reportedly died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 43, back inside Saudi Arabia.

4. the 9/11 panel should ask Bush, Cheney, and Condi about this

seperately. And ask them forthrightly.

Remember everyone, it is ok to tell the truth. Always work out better in the long run.

How unfortunate.

Dead men tell no tales.

6. This plane thing is not going to go away.

More and more have been interested in it. I think it is like the stuff the WH blacked out on Saudi Arabia. It stays on the back ground but will come out.
