The High-Flying Bin Ladens -- 12 Osama Kin Hold FAA Licenses
At least 12 members of Osama bin Laden's family currently hold Federal Aviation Administration pilot's licenses that make them eligible to fly aircraft anywhere in the United States, including three who received their licenses just this June, according to an analysis of FAA records provided to ABC News by a computer security firm, Safe Banking Systems.

One of the three who received his FAA licenses this year, Yeslam bin Laden, a half-brother of Osama who lives in Geneva, Switzerland, is named in a civil lawsuit brought by the families of 9/11 victims alleging he helped to finance Osama's al-Qaeda network as it started up in the 1990s in Yemen and the Sudan.

Yeslam disputes the allegations in the lawsuit and, like the entire family, has repudiated Osama. Still, lawyers for the 9/11 families question whether the FAA has done its job.
"Any ties to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda whatsoever, even remote familial ties, require the utmost scrutiny and skepticism," said Don Migliore, an attorney representing 9/11 families.

Yet Homeland Security scrutinizes grandmas in peace groups in the U.S., and people who simply are guilty of consuming falafel. Go figure.

3. They might have licenses, but I doubt they fly much in the US anymore
...least not since brother Salem met an "unfortunate accident" right around the time his connections with Chimpy's Arbusto Energy were being investigated while Poppy was running (officially) for President in 1988.

5. Good Point..and if the 911 Hijackers were Saudi.. how come we attacked EEYEraq?
And if the Bin Laden Construction Company built all the tunnels in Pakistan for the CIA... how come they can't find Osama? Just sayin'...

And if they all have pilot's licenses.. how come Chimpy sent around a private plane to pick them up and take them out of the country?

No problem. I'll just go back and read the Offishul (sic) 911 report.. I'm sure all the answers are in there.
