WHEN WAS THE SAUDI PUT ON THE NO-FLY LIST?

Many of those commenting on Glenn Beck's disclosures seem to be excessively eager to accept the government's version of events. I am trying to be neutral on this.

So what we have is that the Saudi nabbed fleeing the bombing scene was "in the system" on a no-fly list for a previous undisclosed incident, according to Beck's accusation. The government, according to Beck's highly classified document, then moved to have the man deported very quickly. Beck says he has evidence of tampering indicating an attempt to delete some material.

The government's position is that the Saudi was placed on the no-fly list after he was apprehended and, I suppose, that the serious incident refers to the Boston bombings. And, we are led to believe that the deportation order was a bureaucratic maneuver that gave the government grounds to hold him (as if the feds didn't already have grounds).

Beck also noted that the Saudi seems to have been a floater, who had violated terms of his student visa (not an unusual behavior of young visitors).
