No, that's OK. This warrents its own thread, and for me its helpful when threads don't wander so much, so thanks for putting it all down in a seperate spot. All I have to say is that it's like the US is HELPING Al QaQaa - letting the Bin Laden family flee the US right after 9/11 when no one else could fly, George Jr.'s statement that he wasn't troubled about finding Bin Laden, now this. I swear to God, George Jr. could appear on TV arm and arm with Bin Laden with all the members of AlQaQaa raising their rifles in a salute in the background and the American voter would STILL say, "Gotta vote for Bush. HE'S keeping us safe!" This willful blindness to Bush's inept bungling is downright frightening.

*sigh*.

Al QaQaa is the weapons facility that the munitions have gone missing from; no one is "helping" it and it has no members. Bush allowing the non-terrorist (and no one has presented ANY evidence otherwise) members of the Bin Laden family to leave the United States was a decent and honorable thing to do -- or would you prefer he let them risk being lynched?

Nah, he let them go home while other Middle-eastern and Islamic backgrounded people who live HERE were harassed, beaten and openly hated. Besides, if they weren't a threat and if the gov't had paid them no mind (publicly) then no one would have known they were Bin Laden kin (unless of course they went around announcing it).

May I ask how ANYONE had a chance to find and/or present evidence in their favor or against it in the space of the two days between 9/11 and their departure? They could have been questioned in a reasonable manner at some safe facility and then put on their planes back home and no one would have had to wonder whether they knew anything or not. 5,000 people were killed. Surely, the Bin Laden family would have been willing to answer a few questions to help track down a mass murderer!
