Clarke and Saudis
The
Boston Herald is on a roll these days. Today they are writing about Richard Clarke and his involvement with expediting that airplane load full of Saudis (including members fo the Bin Laden family) who fled the USA after 9/11:

We'd like to know how Clarke squares his contention that he was the only one in the Bush administration truly committed to thwarting terrorism before the Sept. 11 attacks with this: It was Clarke who personally authorized the evacuation by private plane of dozens of Saudi citizens, including many members of Osama bin Laden's own family, in the days immediately following Sept. 11.
And more:
