Mephisto,

American Spirit is only giving you half of the story, and doing so with no context. James Bath, who was probably working on behalf of Khalid bin Mahfouz, invested $50,000 in two Arbusto partnerships in 1979 and 1980. The money was lost. Mahfouz was not a blood relative of the bin Laden family; he was merely a brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden.

Note the time frame: 1979-1980. This was during the period when Jimmy Carter had started arming the freedom fighters in Afghanistan, a time when our relations with Saudi Arabia were far less complicated.

Check out page 269 in Kevin Phillips' book American Dynasty.
