Cute take on the Saudi flap from NRO.

>>>Saudi Cash: OK, let's see if I have the story straight. In 1998, the wife of the Saudi ambassador to the United States receives a letter from a Jordanian-born woman in San Diego, a woman she has never before heard of, who tells her that she is facing high medical bills. The Saudi princess authorizes a wire transfer of $2,000 a month from her account in Washington to the account of the San Diego woman. Over the next three years, tens of thousands of dollars are transferred from Washington to San Diego, apparently without any questions asked.

Now, by an amazing coincidence, it turns out that the woman who received the money is married to a man who gave money and help to two of the 9/11 hijackers.

All weekend, Saudi spokesmen covered the talk shows, denouncing the possibility that there could be anything suspicious in this connection. And given the long record of Saudi generosity, who can doubt that the princess's story must be true?
