Diving Archeologists wrongfully detained by indonesian police

My apologies for cross posting this stuff the UKRS and other lists. The
discussion has changed and I failed to note my messages were going to a
variety of people no longer likely to be interested.

I'll try to do better.

Yeah, right... And exactly what does a country and western singer whose been
dead since '92 know about OSB? Don't you think that just *maybe* he might
be a bit off on current events/

Not me. I think he's a dolt one minute and the next. A diabolical schemer
would have done a better job of covering his actions.

I don't think much of anybody is getting the wool pulled over their eyes any
more. I have a lot more trouble with the fact that he seems to think the
entire population of this great country are idiots than I do with the fact
that I think he's one. His daddy wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box
either, but he had a much better cabinate to help keep him on track.

He's gotten caught at just about everything. The problem is, the Democrats
have so little credibility and are so obviously rabidly biased that nobody
will take them seriously and it's not in the self interest of the
Republicans to do anything to address the problems. Even they, however, are
beginning to wonder what this guy is up to.

I'd like to point out 2 things:

1. Much smaller issue than N.O. or South FLorida.

2. I have no doubt that the subjects were VERY cooperative in this case.

You can choose to believe that if you want. I have yet to hear a clear
statement from his family in this regards, condemning him, his ideology
and his crimes.

And more generally there's that little problem of the flow of Saudi oil
money financing all these nasty extremist schools, "charitable"
movements etc...

But for some reason Saudi Arabia has not made it yet to the "Axis of
Evil" list.

Or the entire Muslim world.

I really don't care myself, and I doubt they would skyline themselves that
way.

But his family situation was well known long before 9/11.

I wholeheartedly agree here.

Forget the flow of Saudi money. How about we do something about the flow of
Islamic contributions in the US first. There's an easy to identify $80 plus
million a year annonymously deposited in banks all over the country by a
single "charitable" group, remotely managed from Canada and wired to
Switzerland. It's been reported to several law enforcement agencies with no
noticable results. Perhaps someone, other than me, is still investigating
this, but if so, they're certainly taking their time about it. It has not
been diminished at all since it was first discovered more than a year ago.

Now -there's- a cite I'd like to see.

Yes it was.

How many of the bin Laden family were evacuated?

How many people were evacuated from NO?

How many people were evacuated from S. FL?

No comparison.

Among other things, there's a rather detailed discussion of the investment
Bin Laden's family made in Bush family enterprises and of the business
dealings the Bush family and family enterprises had with the Saudi.
