for four domestic flights.

171
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:53,790
- Yes.
- How do these tell me

172
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,337
that we have a Saudi problem?

173
00:11:55,506 --> 00:11:57,247
I'm looking at names, not nationalities.

174
00:11:57,342 --> 00:11:59,334
We cross-referenced all passenger names

175
00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:02,420
against an Agency database
for known al-Qaeda.

176
00:12:02,513 --> 00:12:04,379
We came up with two.
Both of them were Saudi.

177
00:12:04,515 --> 00:12:06,427
Now, there seems to have been a number

178
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:11,182
of other Saudis on the four planes,
possibly as many as 15.

179
00:12:12,482 --> 00:12:16,351
And do we know that these two,
or these 15,

180
00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:18,484
are responsible for
what's happening today?

181
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:20,654
That is the leading assumption, yes,

182
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,697
but the immediate issue
for the administration

183
00:12:22,784 --> 00:12:26,198
is going to be getting our Saudi friends
out of the country.

184
00:12:26,287 --> 00:12:29,451
That includes the royal family,
the ambassador, all associates.

185
00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:34,205
They're going to be in danger
once this leaks out in the press.

186
00:12:34,295 --> 00:12:36,662
Dick, we have to preserve
our relationship

187
00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:38,964
with Saudi Arabia for many reasons.

188
00:12:39,050 --> 00:12:42,384
In the short-term,
to help form a coalition,

189
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:46,009
and to host a staging ground
for when we do retaliate in the region.

190
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:49,308
We agree on that, George.

191
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:53,304
But, if I may,

192
00:12:55,942 --> 00:13:00,027
did you know that these two,
or these 15,

193
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:02,150
but let's just concentrate
on the two right now...

194
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,822

that they were in the country?

195
00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:07,326

that my hair has been on fire

196

198
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:14,826

199
00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:16,251
Four of these flights were domestic,

200
00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:20,001
so, these men had to enter the country
at some point prior to this morning.

201
00:13:22,552 --> 00:13:25,010
How long had they been in the country?

202

You look into it and get back to me.

and discuss getting the Saudis out,
