1. It's in the transcript from the 9/11 commission
when they interviewed Richard Clarke. He confirmed the flights.

2. I've said it before, but I'll say it again ...
... I watched a local newscast (WCVB) a day or two after 9/11 and the newsreader (Anthony Everett) spoke about a plane leaving Logan with some Bin Laden family members on it. I specifically remember this because all flights were down at the time and even bland Anthony seemed surprised.

8. The same thing happened after the OK City bombing...
...but it did not seem as big a deal then of course.

9. I heard the same thing, Tracer
I absolutely remember that because my first thought was, "I wonder if they are getting them out of here because of a possible backlash?" I live near the airport and planes were still grounded.

3. saudi flight
It was never much of a secret, althought I guarantee NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN MSNBC and Fox News didn't ever report it.

As mentioned elsewhere it was recorded in the 9/11 investigation transcript, under Richar Clark. IT was reported (much) earlier by Greg Palast, Democracy Now (Amy Goodman) among many others.

Just do a Google in "Saudi's Fly" and you'll be amazed.

4. Saudis were on chartered flights
Edited on Mon Jun-28-04 03:02 PM by Warpy
around the country, going to departure poitns, while not even organ transplant planes were allowed to fly. They didn't fly out of the country until the ban was off.

Tampa International Airport has confirmed the private, chartered jets flying out during the complete ban on flights.

5. Did you see F 9-11?
Edited on Mon Jun-28-04 03:05 PM by Cheswick
Senator Dorgan, an ex FBI agent and Prince Bandar Bush (on a CNN interview) all said it happened. It is also in the 9-11 commision report. Do you need more proof than that?

10. i first read about it many many months ago
In the online edition of the Tmpa newspaper. The first flight as I recall was a group of the BL's transported to Lexington Kentucky on 9=13. I remember it clearly because I live across the river from Louisville, Ky and wondered why that airport was chosen. I have no link
