Hijackers In Same Hotel As Saudi Minister (9-10-2001)

I hate innuendo reporting. If I had the resources, I could slime everyone who ever stayed in any hotel simply by determining that someone bad stayed there the same night.

For all I know, I've shared a motel with Ted Bundy or Alec Baldwin.

Jorge's coddling and covering for the House of Saud borders on accessory after the fact.

If he were in FDR's place, the nation would have heard Pearl Habor described as "a few rogue pilots hijacking the traditions of the honorable Imperial Navy", and Hirohito would have enjoyed BBQ at Crawford.

W deserves to be pounded on the issue of Saudi Arabia and 9-11. And spare me the "master plan" bit.

[TheCrusader]

"He is not now suspected of breaking any laws and there is no evidence that he met the hijackers at the Virginia hotel."

What kind of evidence do they need, a written confession? Why are we in bed with Saudi Arabia when we know full well they are tying to do us in?

My dad has stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn in Herndon a couple of times when he's visited us. It is indeed close to Dulles International Airport and probably close to some of the Muslim charities in Herndon, given that Herndon is not a large area.

It's not a sleazeball "roach" hotel, but not top of the line, either. It's the kind of place we like to stay when travelling because the rooms are suites, with kitchenettes, so you can make your own coffee and so forth. Nice for travelling with kids. Homey.

Two floors, and rather spread out, so you could go from room to room without being observed.

If the guy was travelling all alone, and only staying a day or so, there are nicer places that would cost about the same in the same area. Residence inns become more attractive if you are travelling with a group or staying several days.

I see, on the web, that it is an "extended stay" type of establishment.

The Herndon, VA Marriott Residence Inn is a convenient place to stay if flying out of Dulles airport. Long ago I stayed there once on business. Nice enough place, but wouldn't a senior Saudi Arabian official be staying at a ritzier place, like the Tysons Corner Ritz Carlton just down the Dulles toll road 267? I've stayed there too and it is nice.

That said, it is highly suspicious, since there are nicer hotels in the area. A lot (pilot IDs and uniforms and last minute plan schedule changes) could be brought into and out of the U.S., uninspected in a diplomat's luggage.

[livius]

Or, worse still, Teddy Kennedy.

[Alouette]

Until they actively AND PUBLICLY denounce terrorism

Oh, but they do actively AND PUBLICLY denounce terrorism.

Thing is, though, that to them "terrorism" means any activity to topple the Gang of Saud. Oh, and also any moves by Zionists and infidels to protect themselves against Wahabi depredations.

[Shermy]

Not to forget, I'm still waiting for the "Telegraph" to open the Iraqi ministry box labelled "France."

[pitinkie]

Yes and the FBI talked to him and his wife soon after and he feigned a seizure. The agents asked for him to stay in country but the Gov let them leave.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

[anymouse]

This Lucianne.com thread has more info. on this Saudi perp posted on posts 5 & 6, but the source is of uncertain credibility.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

They need to be informed that, regarding their survival, it is OUR definition of terrorism that is relevent, not theirs.

[CobaltBlue]

Elden Street isn't the ideal place if you're flying out of Dulles, that's for sure.

If they don't have a shuttle bus service, it's way too far to walk.

[Shermy]

This isn't such a new story at all, all the Telegraph plays it as new.

Here's a March Newsweek link, basically saying the same information.

With Friends Like These.

[Brian S]

Or after our 12 year war with Iraq looks like it's at its end, no need to coddle the House of Saud as much.

WRONG and the House of Saud knows this, at least for now.

They, by themselves can tank the US economy even more worse than it is now. They know it, our Gov't knows it and business knows it.

The US economy is on a "string" as I type...just a small deviation in OPEC production can send the economy back into "acknowleged" recession.

As long as this Country is a oil addict...this USA is dependent on our foreign "enemies"?

Many in Gov't accept that as a "New World Order" reality and a "good thing".

I don't.

[dagnabbit]

Did he have to wait to fly commercial like the rest of us, or did he get on one of early private Saudi flights that Ambassador Prince Bandar ordered Jorge to let fly over our grieving heads?

[Shermy]

"WRONG"

You're right.
