Osama bin 'ere: Swiss bank (Same account with 57 other Bin Ladens!)
http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,8071853%255E1702,00.html

SWISS investigators today revealed that international terror mastermind Osama bin Laden was a beneficiary of a Swiss bank account until 1997.

Fifty-seven other members of the extended bin Laden family were also listed as beneficiaries of the account at the Swiss bank UBS in Zurich, which was held by two of his half-brothers, a spokeswoman for the Swiss federal prosecutors' office said.

Andrea Sadecky confirmed a report in the Swiss newspaper Le Temps, which said a two-year investigation had found that the head of al-Qaeda was linked to account number 575.167 opened in 1990 by his two half-brothers - Yahia bin Laden, the head of the family's Saudi construction group Binladin, and Baqer bin Laden.

Should I get the Reynold's Wrap or is the fact that the Bin Ladens that are Buds with the Bushes have been sharing an account with OBL just something that I shouldn't concern myself with?

You know. For their safety. Inquiring minds want to know?

3. The ones who were possibly material witnesses
who were allowed to fly out of the country and were never questioned be the FBI?

5. UBS has been a Bush family organ for years -- bought Enron's trading unit
Buying the trading unit was very clever, because all the trading records were moved to Switzerland, making them harder to access by investigators.
