The narration says: "It turns out that the White House approved planes to pick up the bin Ladens and numerous other Saudis." Richard Clark, National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism from 1998 to 2003, authorized the departures. He has publicly stated through interviews that the FBI was consulted. The decision went no higher than Clark. This is also found in Section 10 of the Commission on Terrorism report "Threats and Responses in 2001" on page 12. [I don't want to get into a political argument but Richard Clark worked for the National Security Council, an agency directly controlled and answerable to the President. His actions as well as the actions of other people working for the President are often attributed to the "White House". Saying the White House did something does not necessarily indicate direct action by the President. Accordingly saying the White House approved the transport of the Bin Ladens and other Saudis is correct even when it was someone other than the President who gave the actual order.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
