You know, its a funny thing about old bin laden. For someone who is the Number one most wanted person alive, someone with a $50Million dollar bounty on him, someone who suffers from kidney disease, and other illnesses, the purported mastermind behind 9/11---isnt it amazing that his family members were flown out of the USA when all aircraft filight were grounded after 9/11, isnt it AMAZING that this ignorant scumsicker is still alive, probably living in luxury somewhere?
Sucks huh?
The facts of that matter are:
1. The Bin Laden family already had a charter trip from the U.S to somewhere outside the U.S booked well before 9/11.
2. Immediately after 9/11 they were interviewed by our government, given a clean bill of health and quietly went on with their trip.
3. That trip launched
after the flight embargo was lifted and thus did not require any special handling or permission.
I was close to the source and those are the real, no shit facts.
The Bin Laden family is well known in international circles as very pro-west and very involved in all sorts of businesses in Europe and the U.S. They are mortally embarrased about UBL.
