Well, it does seem to me that the trail here is so obvious the Saudis would have to be morons to have used this as a conduit. On the face of it, it would seem so.. But it was hidden within a layer of "plausible deniability" as a charitable contribution.. However, in the US, were I to write a check and claim a tax benefit for such a donation, and the IRS to discover that the money had been diverted to a non-charitable cause, it could be labeled as money laundering.. I'm not sure if I'm ready to claim that the Saudi Ambassador to the US, Prince Bandar, and/or his wife, were knowingly sending money to 9/11 terrorists. But I suspect that he knew the money was not eventually destined to be spent on medical treatment... This was just one more payoff the Saudi Royal family regularly makes in order to retain their position of power as a front for the Wahabbi militants. Hawk
