"White House officials have strongly denied any special treatment for the Saudis."


How is flying the Saudis out after 9/11 NOT special treatment?? Like the FBI agent in Farenheit 911 said that's like a criminal killing someone and allowing the witnesses or relatives of that person who may be questioned or asked about the murder to be flown out of the country or state. That makes NO sense.

You're right, it even says in the headline. When I read an article, I usually go straight for the bolded parts in the quote above, and AFP means Agence France Presse AFP

Not according to the Iraqi people.
Maybe you should get some information from the actual people involved than believing the mutton being force fed by the media...
I've talked to several people that have friends stationed in Iraq and Afganistan and the stories they tell are nothing like the medias'.

Michael Moore also used this story for Fahrenheit 9/11.

Here's one guy's rebuttal.
http://www.davekopel.org/Terror/Fif...m_United_States

quote:

Saudi Departures from United States Deceits 11-14 Moore is guilty of a classic game of saying one thing and implying another when he describes how members of the Saudi elite were flown out of the United States shortly after 9/11. If you listen only to what Moore says during this segment of the movie—and take careful notes in the dark—you’ll find he’s got his facts right. He and others in the film state that 142 Saudis, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, were allowed to leave the country after Sept. 13. The date—Sept. 13—is crucial because that is when a national ban on air traffic, for security purposes, was eased But nonetheless, many viewers will leave the movie theater with the impression that the Saudis, thanks to special treatment from the White House, were permitted to fly away when all other planes were still grounded. This false impression is created by Moore’s failure, when mentioning Sept. 13, to emphasize that the ban on flights had been eased by then. The false impression is further pushed when Moore shows the singer Ricky Martin walking around an airport and says, "Not even Ricky Martin would fly. But really, who wanted to fly? No one. Except the bin Ladens." But the movie fails to mention that the FBI interviewed about 30 of the Saudis before they left. And the independent 9/11 commission has reported that "each of the flights we have studied was investigated by the FBI and dealt with in a professional manner prior to its departure."

The rest of the explanation is quite interesting and worth a read.

Ok so, either they were interviewed by the Fbi/cops and then left or they were not and just flew out without being interviewed. Which is it?
