“…on September 13 [2001], [Saudi ambassador] Prince Bandar meets President Bush for a private conversation on the Truman balcony in the White House. At the same time, a massive operation to evacuate 140 Saudis, including about two dozen members of the bin Laden family, has begun. The first flight leaves Tampa, Florida for Lexington, Kentucky, that day.”
