They are completely hung up on that plane that Ashcroft traveled on, even though it was answered fully yesterday by Ashcroft himself.

They seem to believe that the government was expecting something that day and they even said that the Pentagon canceled all their scheduled flights.

I'm assuming that nobody told George and Barbara Bush and Barbara Olsen that day, eh?

"The FBI checked a variety of databases for information on the Bin Ladin flight passengers and searched the aircraft. It is unclear whether the TIPOFF terrorist watchlist was checked. At our request, the Terrorist Screening Center has rechecked the names of individuals on the flight manifests of these six Saudi flights against the current TIPOFF watchlist. There are no matches. The FBI has concluded that nobody was allowed to depart on these six flights who the FBI wanted to interview in connection with the 9/11 attacks, or who the FBI later concluded had any involvement in those attacks. To date, we have uncovered no evidence to contradict this conclusion."
