FBI TO PROTECT BIN lADEN RIGHTS

[brettdale]

Boy they are so scared, that the public will see a connection between the Bin Laden's and the Bush's arent they.

Once again, send this to all media.

4. Here's the link to Judicial Watch.

5. Look at this part

Exemption 6 under FOIA law on behalf of bin Laden, which permits the government to withhold all information about U.S. persons in “personnel and medical files and similar files” when the disclosure of such information “would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” (5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) (2000))

Since when has bin Laden been a U.S. person?

6. When he started working for Bushco.

13. Wha??

BinLaden is a US citizen? And here I thought he was in Pakistan and from Saudi Arabia!

7. You know, it's Judicial Watch and I don't trust them a bit (Larry Klayman)

http://www.judicialwatch.org/cases.shtml

I mean, this is Larry Klayman's organization and this was the group that is going after the "Activist Judges" in the Schiavo cases and defended Gennifer Flowers. Klayman tossed about 50 trillion nuisiance lawsuits after Clinton.

I don't like and don't trust Klayman. Judicial Watch got a beating for their support of Terri Schiavo's parents. And if JW went after the Cheney Energy Records the way they went after Clinton's Personal Life, I would suspect an impeachment would have happened for Dick Cheney's inappropriate alliances with the energy companies.

Don't trust this one bit whatsoever

[Crazy Guggenheim]

8. Yes they are a conservative group and am leary of them.

[LynneSin]

9. Thanks, I wish Michael Moore used more caution when....

...plopping this on his home page.

ALthough this is one example where I would enjoy the rest of DU telling me "I Told You So" if I were to be wrong of JW & Klayman's reasons for going after this.

17. Let's also remember that JW got some of the Energy Task Force documents.

You know, with the maps of oil fields and contract lists.

I don't trust them, but an FOIA is an FOIA. How they managed to get the docs is another question.

[doublethink]

10. Don't know enough about

this Judicial Watch group except what I just read on their home page. It seems most of the litigation they got going is bent at our Left Wing liberal reps. However they do have this ongoing investigation (Judicial Watch v. Department of Homeland Security & Federal Bureau of Investigation, No. 04-1643 (RWR), in regards to Osoma Bin Laden. Osoma Bin Who? And I too have a question or two about the "personal medical files or other files" they are referring to here. Are they talking about Bin Ladens files as if he is, or was a 'U.S.'person or citizen of some type? Or are they referring to 'others' who's names happen to show up in the files relating to him? The document released only mentions him and family members. What other files are out there that the FBI is holding out on and what other names might have been 'redacted' on them? Okay gonna give this post the 3rd vote to put it on the greatest page, cause I have some questions Lucy!!! Anyone else have any thoughts? Peace. :)

[Zhade]

11. Astounding. I'm speechless.

NT!

[lonestarnot]

15. This is a fucking outrageous prohibitition of freedom of information to

protect the deal struck with bushitler and the bin forgotten family!

[Zhade]

16. It's astonishing.

We lose our rights due to the Orwellian "PATRIOT Act", yet the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks - WHO ISN'T EVEN AN AMERICAN CITIZEN! - has a right to privacy?

When did I wake up in Bizarro World???

[doublethink]

12. Two questions to this document ...

Two blanks on it. Who is the head of the Bin Laden Family, and what statement of his was redacted? And who had only 1 son? Professor Watson ... paging Professor Watson !!! :)

[htuttle]

14. No, that should be, "Mrs HudSON! Bring us some tea..."

I think the person who only had one son was Osama's mother. His father -- 'the head of the bin Laden family' -- is/was Mohammed Awad bin Laden, and had numerous wives.

Here's a link that might help to fill in some of the blanks:
A Biography of Osama bin Laden
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/binladen/who/bio.html

on edit: Oh, you mean the current head of the family (or the head on Sept 11th, as the document mentions). That's a good question. I think one of the elder bin Laden brothers was killed in the 90's in a plane crash in TX. Not sure who ended up heading the family (as in the family business) in 2001.

18. One more reason...

...I want to see a real-time OBL clock on the DU front page, counting the days, minutes, and seconds since 9/11 until he's actually caught.
