Tampabay: TIA now verifies flight of Saudis

Michael Moore haters beware – he’s right.

Despite official denials from Washington about this exact flight, TIA (Tampa) has confirmed that in the days after 911, Saudis were in the air. Two men, one of them thought to be a member of the Saudi royal family, were accompanied by a former FBI agent and a former Tampa police officer on the flight to Lexington, Ky then out of the country.

Perez, the former FBI agent on the flight, could not be located this week, and Grossi declined to talk about the experience. "I’m over it," he said in a telephone interview. "The White House, the FAA and the FBI all said the flight didn’t happen. Those are three agencies that are way over my head, and that’s why I’m done talking about it." The FAA is still not talking about the flights, referring all questions to the FBI, which isn’t answering anything, either. Nor is the 9/11 Commission.
