Saudi Ambassador Responds to Claims in "Fahrenheit 9/11"
The Associated Press

LONDON (AP) - Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Britain on Wednesday responded to some of the claims made in Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11" and in a book about the Bush family's relationship with Saudis going back to the 1970s.<snip>

Prince Turki al-Faisal, the Saudi ambassador to London and a nephew of Crown Prince Abdullah, said there was nothing improper about the (special Sept. 13, 2001)departures.

The Saudis "were properly vetted by the FBI, nobody left without being questioned, nobody left without permission and nobody left without any protocol being involved," al-Faisal told British Broadcasting Corp. radio.

In his film, Moore claims that the Bush administration helped a number of Saudi princes and members of the bin Laden family to flee the United States at a time when American airspace had been closed to all commercial traffic. <snip>

"We may have invested in the same companies ... It doesn't mean we were in cahoots with the Bush family about that."

1. Yet another article that LIES about what Moore said in the film.

Moore NEVER claims that Saudis or anyone else were allowed to leave the country while airspace was closed.

What a load of crap.

2. Prince Turki al-Faisal was/is bin Laden's mentor...

...and long time protector. He has just as much reason to lie as the Bushies because both have a lot to hide about the Saudi connection to terrorism and Bush* politics.

3. Sooo....If there was nothing "wrong" with it

why all the secrecy about the Bin Ladens and other Saudis leaving the country?
