this is from ABC News tonight; their debunking of Moore's movie.
in this quote, they, in non-sequitur manner, btw, try to refute the fact that the Saudis got preferential treatment in leaving the country
they do this by saying that the person who let them go was Richard Clarke, who they say is a main source of Bush bashing in the movie.
the point they make is IRRELEVANT to their argument, as who cares WHO OK'd it.....it HAPPENED. talk about bait and switch
furthermore, my point here is, I think Clarke contradicts his version of these events, as told in his book, which I passed on.
here's the EXACT quote from the news.....I taped it:
CLARKE: I thought the flights, uhhhhhh, were, correct, uhhhhh, the Saudis had reasonable fear, uhhhhh, that they might be the subject of vigilante attacks in the united states--after 911. and there is no evidence even to this date that any of the people who left on those flights were people of interest to the FBI.
didn't he object in his book to the quick exodus of the saudis, especially without more than cursory interrogation? and I KNOW that he was ordered by the FBI to let them go; that's for SURE
can somebody help out?
