Ben and Erik are back and squatting in a conference room at the American consulate in Jeddah. Instead of countries, agencies or organizations we take a more human approach as Ben tells the tale of the American consular official who issued a total of 12 visas to future 9/11 hijackers. We talk the Saudi visa program, secret passport indicators, Operation Cyclone and ask "Shayna, what the fuck are you doing?!". If you have ever done a really, really bad job at work only to find yourself promoted and rewarded for it then we have the episode for you.
Join us next time, unless they change the wi-fi password, for our introduction to Al-Qaeda and our attempts to answer the biggest question in this story: was Osama Bin Laden really 6'5"? Ben promises that at no point will he be referring to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as "pimp".
