Spinsanity Nitpicks: When Bin Ladens left US days after 9/11
Moore's point was that the FBI did not have time to properly investigate the Bind Laden's family and any connection of members to Osama. Whether or not they flew before any other flights were allowed does not negate the point.

Fact stands: BUSH ADMINISTRATION LET TERRORISTS' FAMILY HAVE A FREE PASS OUT OF THE COUNTRY

Most Americans are still not aware of this event. It is so shocking you don't want to beleive it, but it is true.

Spinsanity, don't Nitpick and don't use single sources!

1. Spincity dishonestly blows liberal crimes out proportion
because they think that is objectivity. Antinazis are just as bad as Nazis.

2. Actually, Bin Ladens DID fly when everyone else was grounded.
What they DIDN'T do was fly out of the US until after the ban on flights was lifted. However, there was a flight that travelled around WITHIN the US picking up Bin Laden members and bringing them to a central location from where they flew out after the ban was lifted.

So Bin Ladens WERE flying as Snopes was forced to admit:

I owe Michael Moore an apology. In a January 2002 interview with Al D'Amato and Alan Colmes of the FOX Network, Michael Moore said:

"Why did this country allow the bin Laden family, two days after — two days after September 11 — to fly around America and pick up all the bin Laden relatives, about 24 of them, and take them to Europe? Not a single one of them was interrogated by the FBI."

That set me off on a tirade, and it shouldn't have. Part of Mr. Moore's statement has since been proved to be correct — during the ban on air travel, some Saudis (including members of the bin Laden family) were transported by air to assembly points in the U.S. in preparation for their leaving the country. In an earlier version of this article, I ranted and raved about his avowing bin Laden flights had taken place while no one was allowed to fly. Yet some did, at least within the U.S.

I shouldn't have yelled at him. He was right about that.

Too bad Spinsanity were too busy trying to spin Moore's book to check the facts eh?
