[JPZenger]

This morning, there was a good interview on CNN with the author of the book "House of Bush, House of Saud." The author is an investigative reporter with the Boston Globe.

The author described how in the days after 9/11, when commercial airliners were grounded, 140 Saudis were permitted to fly out of the U.S. on jets - without being questioned by U.S. intelligence. Many were immediate kin to Osama Bin Laden.

The CNN interviewer asked the author: Why does the White House continue to deny that this ever happened? The author listed the sources that verified the story. (This story was also reported in Michael Moore's latest book).

The book describes the long-term political and business relationships between the Saudi Royal Family and the Bush Family.

Here's an excerpt from the main review on Amazon.com: "To trace the amazing weave of Saud-Bush connections, Unger interviewed three former directors of the CIA, top Saudi and Israeli intelligence officials, and more than one hundred other sources.His access to major players is unparalleled and often exclusive -- including executives at the Carlyle Group, the giant investment firm where the House of Bush and the House of Saud each has a major stake."
