Vanity Fair actually published an article about the flights out of the USA.
It's been a while since I read it, but saying the Bin Laden family - I
think - is incorrect.
It was mostly the Royal Family (of Saudia Arabia) who had the pull to get
the flights.
I think 1 or 2 people traveling with the Royal's were members of the Bin
Laden clan, but that is actually more of a coincidental afterthought.
Of course those facts matter little in terms of the message of the
article. The article took to task the US administration for allowing
foreigners to fly through US air space while Americans could not. The
specific case they cite was about a man who was waiting for a replacement
heart in Washington who had major complications because the heart could not
be flown to him.
I'll go home and look for the magazine. It was the one with George Clooney
on the cover.
I'm not a personal fan of Michael Moore. I haven't seen any of his films
so I can't comment on them. I find him to be a big wind bag, but one with
good intentions. Like the not-so-smart ppl that try too hard to be thought
of as smart, I think he tries too much. However, he does serve a very
valuable purpose. He sparks interest. Interest may beget
curiosity. Curiosity yields discovery Hopefully, truth may emerge from
discovery.
I'm going to watch the movie.
