talking about this new book House of Bush/House of Saud. Don't know if you caught it last night, the author said that the Saudi owner of the racehorse War Emblem was one of the Saudis who was in the loop about 9/11, he was flown out on one of those 9/11-12 Saudi charter planes, only to be discovered by the CIA later, and then "dying" of a heart attack at age 43.

Sami Al Arian campaigned with Bush in 2000?

Yes I did catch it and I didn't appreciate his implications. Sometimes I don't know where Bachelor is coming from and whose side he's on. He tries to pass himself off as a Republican but he seems to lean more to the left IMO.

IN Posner's book "Why America Slept", that horse magnate and bon vivant was fingered by Abu Zubaydah as a AQ and jiahdi supporter, despite his overt western ways, when really he was a SaudiAQ supporter and operative.

He was found dead in 2002 Summer, I think.

That shameful evacuation of the Saudis has yet to be answered for.

But, seeing how the Saudis control Washington, don't bet on it.

MADRID, Spain - Powerful explosions rocked three Madrid train stations Thursday just three days before Spain's general elections, killing 131 rush-hour commuters and wounding more than 400 in what officials called the deadliest attack ever by the Basque separatist group ETA.


"This is a massacre," government spokesman Eduardo Zaplana said.


In the first attack of the year blamed on ETA, bombs exploded around 7:30 a.m. local time in a commuter train arriving at Atocha station, a bustling hub for subway, commuter and long-distance trains in Spain's capital.

Blasts also rocked trains or platforms at two stations on a commuter line leading to Atocha. The government said there were four blasts altogether.
