ORLANDO, Fla. -- Did Osama bin Laden help move his kin out of Central Florida and the rest of the United States by chartering a plane for them after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001?

That's what an FBI memo written days after the attacks suggests, according to a conservative legal watchdog group in Washington that won access to the document in court.

Judicial Watch said Thursday that the FBI failed to thoroughly investigate the series of chartered air flights carrying Saudi Arabian nationals out of the country in the days after Sept. 11, including one that stopped in Orlando.

It's sad to see America devoting hundreds of billions of dollars to a totally avoidable and seemingly unwinnable war in Iraq when that huge sum of money could be doing so much good in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

The money siphoned to Iraq could be used at home to reduce our growing national debt and help provide uninsured people with healthcare. Or it could be employed abroad to drill water wells, install sewer systems, construct roads and bridges, build decent housing and expand medical and family planning services for desperately poor people in developing nations.

America's unwarranted invasion and occupation of Iraq has greatly damaged our global image. Just think how it could soar -- and rightfully so -- if we devoted our overseas expenditures predominantly to peaceful purposes rather than waging a foolish war.
