Ever hear this one?

September 10, 2001 - Ex. CIA-director, former President, and President Bush's Dad, George H.W. Bush, meets with one of Osama Bin Laden's brothers at a Carlyle business conference in Washington D.C. "It didn't help that as the World Trade Center burned on Sept. 11, 2001, the news interrupted a Carlyle business conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel here attended by a brother of Osama bin Laden. Former president Bush, a fellow investor, had been with him at the conference the previous day." - Washington Post (03/16/03) [Reprinted at: wanttoknow.info] The Carlyle Group - The Honorable George H. W. Bush, Senior Advisor Source - Killtown's 9/11 coincidences and oddities page! (and other note worthy tidbits.) Or this one? 9:03 a.m.: Cousin of the President Saved From Death in the South Tower Due to Changed Venue of Meeting Jim Pierce, a cousin of President Bush, sees the south tower of the WTC hit from the nearby Millennium Hotel. Pierce is the managing director of the AON Corporation, an insurance company with offices in WTC 2. He had arranged a business conference, to be held on the tower’s 105th floor this morning. However, the previous night, the conference was moved to the Millennium Hotel because the group was too large for the original room. According to a book by former First Lady Barbara Bush, Pierce later learns that 12 people are in the room where the meeting was originally planned to take place when the south tower is hit, and only one of them survives. [Ananova, 9/18/2001; Boston Globe, 2001; Newsweek, 10/27/2003] Another AON Corporation meeting is taking place on the 105th floor of the south tower, run by business executive Mary Wieman. Of about 50 participants in attendance, only six are able to escape.
