I'm leaving...on a jet plane....
Another day....another Bush Administration lie.
Tampa Internation Airport is now verifying that two days after 9/11, three Saudis were picked up by a small jet at their airport and flown out. One is believed to be a member of the Saudi royal family.
The government has been denying all along that this flight took place.
Author Craig Unger reported in his book House of Bush, House of Saud about this flight. Unger has been eviscerated by the rightwing media machine for at least a year about this accusation.
This type of flight was extremely unusual on September 13. Most flights were empty airliners being ferried about after quick landings on 9/11. Private nonrevenue flights weren't happening then.
It's pretty clear these guys were given clearance at the highest levels to get out of the country.
