Normally Cindy restricts her pointless ramblings to defending illegal aliens, but this is simply ridiculous.

My understanding is that the Bin Laden family has essentially disowned Usama and have condemned what he has done.

Allowing this mentally challenged equal-opportunity hire to write a column negates all claims this newspaper has to being a legitimate news organ. She is so sorely lacking critical thinking skills, and yet they don't even have the sense or decency to be embarrassed. Suicide of Dinosaur Media alert.

But this, the first major attack of civilians on U.S. soil, prompted us to start asking questions.

You didn't ask questions after THE FIRST WTC bombing in 1993?

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you the intellectually dishonest.

That's what I understood, too. That he was exiled to Saudi Arabia where his son-in-law took him in. As for George HW Bush being a sr. advisor of The Carlyle, I'm willing to be that was before bin Ladens bought in.

The White House authorized planes to pick up 140 Saudi nationals, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, living in various cities in the U.S. to bring them back to Saudi Arabia, where they would be safe. They were never interrogated.

Where's the proof?

This is the same lady that makes O'Reilly all the time. She is a left winger of the highest order.

1978 - in that time frame, wasn't Osama an ally in the Afgahn war against Russia? My timeline might be off a bit.

For many of us, it sparked the beginning of our education on the collusion between government and multinational corporations.

This is where it starts going downhill...quickly... She's an idiot. I once wrote to her about a column she did on illegal immigration, asking her to defend why we should simply let people (from Mexico) come here with no strings attached, and her reply???

"We all share the same planet under one sky...it's not right to restrict those who want to share our country from doing so..."

She uses an old conspiracy type argument that has been put to rest years ago, to write this crap? Unbelievable what the Left is doing these days. Too bad the rest of the media leans in her direction, or she would be quickly outed as the idiot she is.

I'm not sure why I read her crap.

I guess it's like the wreck at the side of the road...you don't want to look, but somehow my eyes are drawn to the blazing stupidity that's on display week after week.

Ugh...

Sorry, took a little license with the name. It's actually the Denver Post. But the change seemed fitting in light of this mess of an editorial.

There is no proof because it isn't true. It is a standard left wing argument, one made by Richard Clarke in his book, but the 9/11 Commission report says:

First, we found no evidence that any flights of Saudi nationals, domestic or international, took place before the reopening of national airspace on the morning of September 13, 2001. To the contrary, every flight we have identified occurred after national airspace reopened.

Second, we found no evidence of political intervention. We found no evidence that anyone at the White House above the level of [National Security Council official] Richard Clarke participated in a decision on the departure of Saudi nationals ... The President and Vice President told us they were not aware of the issue at all until it surfaced much later in the media. None of the officials we interviewed recalled any intervention or direction on this matter from any political appointee.

Third, we believe that the FBI conducted a satisfactory screening of Saudi nationals who left the United State on charter flights. The Saudi government was advised of and agree to the FBI's requirements that passengers be identified and checked against various databases before the flights departed. The Federal Aviation Administration representative working in the FBI operations center made sure that the FBI was aware of the flights of Saudi nationals and was able to screen the passengers before they were allowed to depart. The FBI interviewed all persons of interest on these flights prior to their departures. They concluded that none of the passengers was connected to the 9/11 attacks and have since found no evidence to change that conclusion. Our own independent review of the Saudi nationals involved confirms that no one with known links to terrorism departed on these flights.

Several bin Laden family members invested millions in The Carlyle Group, a private global equity firm based in Washington, DC. The company's senior advisor was Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush. After news of the bin Laden-Bush connection became public, the elder Bush stepped down from Carlyle.

Interestingly, on Sept. 11, 2001, members of the Carlyle Group - including Bush senior, and his former secretary of state, James Baker - were meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, D.C., along with Shafiq bin Laden, another one of Osama bin Laden's brothers.

I am tired of these half-wits and this crap! Time for some TRUTH! The Bush family opted out of the Carlyle Group right after 9/11 and have not been members since!

On the other hand, George Soros is the LARGEST investor in the Carlyle Group today and has long been a member! And Soros is also the largest financial backer of MoveOn.org!

So that means that MoveOn.org financially benefits from the Military Industrial Complex, e.g., THE IRAQ WAR!
