Remember when people dismissed the charges that key Saudi figures and members of the royal family were flown out of the country? They said that no one was flown out before airspace was open to everyone. They also avoided the question this raised--was any thorough questioning done? As it turns out, there were some flights that were never reported . The Sept. 11 commission examined the Saudi flights in its final report last year, and it found that no Saudis had been allowed to leave before national airspace was reopened on Sept. 13, 2001; that there was no evidence of "political intervention" by the White House; and that the F.B.I. had done a "satisfactory screening" of the departing Saudis to ensure they did not have information relevant to the attacks. The documents obtained by Judicial Watch, with major passages heavily deleted, do not appear to contradict directly any of those central findings, but they raise some new questions about the episode. The F.B.I. records show, for instance, that prominent Saudi citizens left the United States on several flights that had not been previously disclosed in public accounts, including a chartered flight from Providence, R.I., on Sept. 14, 2001, that included at least one member of the Saudi royal family, and three flights from Las Vegas between Sept. blog pics 9 and Sept. 24, also carrying members of the Saudi royal family. The government began reopening airspace on Sept. 13, but many flights remained grounded for days afterward.

I have a few things in common with my favorite illustrator, Hugh MacLeod. We both try to be humorous, edgy and generous with our blogs. [He succeeds more oftan than me.] In return, we hope somehow to pick up enough business to survive economically.People vastly overestimate what either of us make, or in Hugh's case, what I think he makes. Hugh and I chatted briefly about this at the San Francisco blog dinner last week, but because of his recent affiliation with Microsoft he seems small business group health insurance o be getting a certain level of unjustifiable crap lately. At the same blogging dinner, someone who should know better referred to Hugh as "just another Microsoft flogger." More recently, at the Girl Geek Dinner , he recently wrote , Sarah Blow told him that before he arrived at the event,people were speculating there was speculating on Gaping Void "being assimilated by Microsoft." I think the reverse is more likely, and good for Sarah for telling Hugh what was saying when he was not present to hear it. Hugh, as usual took the comments in stride down the high road. I don't blame people for speculating. That's what people do. Personally, Hugh gives me something for free. He makes me laugh more than once a week. He manages to bite the hypocrites without being cruel. He gives me insights into not just blogging but the human condition without it feeling like a tutorial. He does it for free. My thanks to Microsoft, Thomas Mahon and Stormhoek for allowing him that luxury.
