Wexler & Deutsch call for investigation into 9/11 flights
Thanks to "Vanity Fair" for publishing Craig Unger's story, "Saving the Saudis" in this month's issue - go out and buy it today! This article has helped bring this issue back into the limelight.

Two Democratic House members from South Florida, Peter Deutsch and Robert Wexler, are calling for an investigation into how Bush administration officials allowed about 140 Saudi nationals to leave the country in the days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

1. Cheney admits "individuals" in SA support Al Qaeda
So why won't he say who these so-called "private individuals" in SA are?

...that Al Qaeda did have a foothold inside Saudi Arabia, many of the members of the organization are from there, that there have been private individuals in Saudi Arabia who provided significant financial support and assistance, that they're facilitators and operators working inside Saudi Arabia to support the Al Qaeda network.

Craig Unger talks about his interviews with officials at Logan regarding these Saudi private flights after 9/11 -

Well they were stunned. I spoke with the Director of Aviation, Tom Kinton, and he simply couldn't believe it. He said how is it possible they're letting them go. Virginia Buckingham, who is Head of MassPort, which is the agency that oversaw Logan was just agog. Here they were, the bin Ladens were on the tarmac in the plane. They simply couldn't believe that they were being told to let them go without questioning.

Unger is writing a book about the Bush/bin Laden/Saudi connections

Here's more from the Craig Unger's interview with Amy Goodman on "Democracy Now" -

3. I really hope something finally comes of this...
Unfortunately, I won't hold my breath. There has been SO much evidence against the BFEE that should have been told, that hasn't been told to enough of the American people.

The bushes should have been investigated on a zillion things they have gotten a free pass on. Until the root cause of all the BFEE corruption gets exposed to the most insidious detail in the commercial press, criminal charges filed, and the perps are found guilty and punished publicly, the evil will just pop up again in a different form, and begin again. This cabal needs to be exposed for the world to see that they are NOT what America stands for, or what Americans will put up with.

I think the chances of that are really slim. There needs to be a law passed that says no member of the bush family can ever hold any elected or appointed office, or be placed in a position of authority ever again. Every drop of these peoples' blood is as evil as anything that ever flowed on earth.
