In a report issued last week, for example, the commission devoted almost a full page to addressing allegations that Saudi nationals including relatives of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden were allowed to leave the country on chartered jets in the immediate aftermath of the attack, while all other flights were still grounded.

In fact, six chartered flights carrying 142 Saudis did leave the country in the days after the attacks, the report said, and one plane had 26 passengers, "most of them relatives" of Bin Laden.

But the commission cleared the government of any wrongdoing, saying that all of the passengers were screened by the FBI and other agencies, and that none of the planes left before commercial airspace was reopened. The commission did not address reports in Vanity Fair magazine and other publications that Saudis were able to arrange flights within the United States before the ban was lifted so that they could gather at major airports for their overseas departure.

The panel did say that it had checked all the names on the flight manifests against current government watch lists, and that it had found no matches. "Nobody of interest to the FBI with regard to the 9/11 investigation was allowed to leave," the report said.
