....... The FBI is investigating dozens of bank accounts held by the Saudi embassy in Washington, it emerged yesterday, putting Saudi-US ties under even more intense strain, writes David Rennie in Washington.

In public, President George W Bush and other US leaders have praised Saudi co-operation in hunting radical groups, but Washington remains concerned that powerful figures within the kingdom have poured money into extremist groups using official Saudi posts as protection.

The move to demand legal access to an embassy's bank records was unprecedented, senior US officials told the Washington Post newspaper.

Boykins' remarks were aimed at the terrorists, America's enemies, not at Muslims in general. Yet you jumped all over him as a neo-Crusader, simply because he brought religion into it - while speaking in a church. Was he supposed to say nice stuff about the terrorists, or would you have been ok if he had called them evil, but left G-d and Satan out of it? You have disapproved all along of any remarks that call the terrorists "evil" - as simplistic and crusading.
