Saudi departures
« on: November 21, 2006, 01:35:14 AM »
Looks like the FBI is very reluctant to reveal who exactly all the Saudi nationals were - all one hundred and sixty of them - who flew or were flown out of the country between September 11th and September 15th, 2001. I can not possibly guess why the "we-hate-bush-left-liberal-media" is not all over this one  grin ............

Judge: FBI must correct disclosures on evacuation of Saudis after 9/11
RAW STORY
Published: Monday November 20, 2006

A U.S. district court judge has ordered the FBI to correct disclosures regarding the US government's evacuation of Saudi royals and bin Laden family members after the September 11 attacks in 2001, a conservative watchdog organization announced today.

"Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that U.S. District Court Judge Richard W. Roberts of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation to submit 'proper disclosures' to the Court and Judicial Watch by December 15, 2006 concerning the U.S. government's evacuation of Saudi royals and members of the bin Laden family from the United States immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks," the group said in a press release obtained by RAW STORY.

Judicial Watch notes that Judge Roberts criticized "the adequacy of redaction descriptions, the accuracy of the sworn statement submitted with the documents, the validity of exemption claims, and other errors in the FBIs disclosures.

"The FBIs 220-page annotated production and accompanying & Declaration together do not, as they must, provide sufficient detail or precision about the withheld information & the FBIs motion for summary judgment will be denied and the FBI will be directed to file disclosures that fairly meet the requirements of [court precedent]," wrote Judge Roberts.

Judge Roberts added that one particular FBI exemption argument "strains credulity."

According to Judicial Watch, US government documents reveal that 160 Saudis flew from the US between September 11 and September 15, 2001.
