There was a story that, while all US flights were grounded after 9/11, the US government arranged to have some Saudi nationals, perhaps including members of the bin Laden family, flown out of the US. Is that true, and does anyone have a source for the story? Thanks, CGE

Thomas Friedman [NYT] asserted that the bin Laden family members were allowed to leave. Can't remember if it was the Feds who got them out.
