Got a link or some facts to back up your statement?

Yes,
"The innuendo is greatest, of course, in Moore?s dealings with the matter of the departing Saudis flown out of the United States in the days after the September 11 terror attacks. Much has already been written about these flights, especially the film?s implication that figures with possible knowledge of the terrorist attacks were allowed to leave the country without adequate FBI screening?a notion that has been essentially rejected by the 9/11 commission. The 9/11 commission found that the FBI screened the Saudi passengers, ran their names through federal databases, interviewed 30 of them and asked many of them ?detailed questions." ?Nobody of interest to the FBI with regard to the 9/11 investigation was allowed to leave the country,? the commission stated. New information about a flight from Tampa, Florida late on Sept. 13 seems mostly a red herring: The flight didn?t take any Saudis out of the United States. It was a domestic flight to Lexington, Kentucky that took place after the Tampa airport had already reopened."

The 9/11 report also stated that no Saudis were allowed to leave until airspace re-opened.
