I have a feeling this might turn interesting.


Yeah, give it a year, and we will be able to tell the House of Saud to stuff it.

Newsweek is reporting a link between Prince Bandar's wife and some rather unsavory characters.

All I can say is... WOW.

>>Sources familiar with the evidence say the payments—amounting to about $3,500 a month— came from an account at Washington’s Riggs Bank in the name of Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, the wife of Saudi Ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and the daughter of the late Saudi King Faisal.<<

Wow. That explains a lot -- about why we are having a hard time freezing assets of Saudis supporting Al Qaeda -- but raises a lot more questions than it answers.

Talk about having smoke blown up our you-know-whats. Prince Bandar was buddy-buddy with Dubya at Crawford. Wonder if his wife was with him?
