:24:00
No one would question it.
:24:02
It's just, ya know,
:24:03
you get a lawyer and fine, counselor fine.
:24:04
Mr. bin Laden this is why I'm asking you;
:24:07
it's not because I think
:24:08
it's you're anything,
:24:09
I just want to ask you the questions
:24:09
that I would anybody.
:24:12
Right.
:24:13
And that's all.
:24:15
None of this made any sense.
:24:18
Can you imagine in the days
:24:19
after the Oklahoma City
:24:21
terrorist bombing President Clinton
:24:23
helping to arrange a trip out of the country
:24:26
for the McVeigh family?
:24:28
What do you think would have happened to Clinton
:24:30
if that had been revealed?
:24:33
Bandar, do you know the bin Laden family?
:24:36
I do very well.
:24:37
What are they like?
:24:38
They're really lovely human beings;
:24:40
uh, he is the only one I never, I don't know well.
:24:43
I met him only once.
:24:44
What was the circumstance under which you met him?
:24:46
This is ironic, and uh, in the mid-80s,
:24:50
if you remember,
:24:51
we and the United States were supporting
:24:52
the Mujhadeen to liberate Afghanistan
:24:57
from the Soviets.
:24:58
He came to thank me for my efforts
:25:01
to bring the Americans, our friends,
:25:03
to help us against the atheists,
:25:05
he said the communists.
:25:07
He came to thank you
:25:08
for helping bring America to help him?
:25:11
And now he may be responsible
:25:13
for bombing America.
:25:14
Absolutely.
:25:15
What do you make of him when you met him?
:25:17
I was not impressed, to be honest with you.
:25:19
Not impressed.
:25:20
No. He was simple and quiet guy.
:25:24
Hmmm.
:25:25
A simple and quiet guy.
:25:28
Whose family who just happened to have
:25:30
a business relationship
:25:32
with the family of George W. Bush.
:25:37
Is that what he was thinking about?
:25:40
Because if the public knew this
:25:43
it wouldn't look very good.
:25:46
Was he thinking,
:25:48
'You know, I need a big black marker.'
:25:56
In early 2004, in a speech
:25:58
during the New Hampshire primary,
