#1 I still don't buy it. Those same 142 (mostly) Saudis and Bin Laden kin "fearing reprisals" could have easily been secured in the downtown DC Ritz-Carlton until the US government had a chance to question them thoroughly, not just check their names against a useless pre- 9/11 "terror watch list", which, as the Commission is proving, had no actual information on it.

I object strenuously to any whitewashing of Saudi influence by this 9/11 commission, because Jamie Gorelick was hired by a law firm that represents The Magic Kingdom AFTER she was named to the Commission. This is capital B, capital S.

IMO, a big handful of Bin Laden relatives would have made a very nice carrot before we dropped the 10th Mountain stick on top of Osama's pointy beturbanned head.

#2 Just remember, this special plan was set up and approved by .....Dick Clarke: Star Witness, Celebrity Bookhound, Apologist Extrodinaire, Friend to All Clinton, Enemy of All Bush....

Parker would call this the one big Get out of Jail Free card.

#3 I don't know what's with the above blog entry but it crashes my Mozilla 1.6 browser instantly.

If I can't read it without crashing it must be an unfriendly site.

#4 John, IMO Dick Clarke just rubber stamped a decision that came from the top. Bush caved to the Saudis on this one.

#5 There's a javascript applet in the page's header. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause a crash. Lots of jpegs posted, but no more than some sites.
