Osama Bin Laden's Brother Laughed at 'Fahrenheit 911'

Who would have thought that the battleground for the White House would encompass the movie industry like it has in this election? While some debate their importance in the outcome, the fantasies, excuse me, 'documentaries' and movies by creative leftist Hollywooders have captured the curiosity of some interesting folks. For instance, did you see the Fox News report last month about one of the fifty-four siblings of Osama Bin Laden? Yeslam Bin ladin, who watched Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/ll' said in an interview with a French magazine, VSD, "I even laughed at times," except for the inaccuracies about his family, to which he said of Michael Moore, "knowing perfectly well that he's deceiving the public," referring to the segment in the film where President Bush is depicted as trying to cover up his family's ties to the bin Laden family. One of Moore's main accusations in the movie was that two days after September 11th the Bush administration helped 142 Saudis, which included 12 members of the Bin Laden family, fly out of the country, even though commercial flying had stopped. "That's false and can be verified by anyone," Yeslam said. "They benefited from no exceptional authorization to leave American territory." Yeslam, who lives in Geneva, said his family members flew to Geneva on September 20th. There were other errors in the movie as well according to him. Osama and Yeslam are two of the 54 sons and daughters of Mohammed bin Laden and his 22 wives. Their father was the founder of Sico, a Geneva-based financial company. Yeslam said the last time he saw his younger half-brother, Osama, was in1981.
