Its not unusual for large families with extensive business activities and relationships to have dealt with each other in the past.

But that fact is entirely irrelevant to the price of oil, and also irrelevant in the context where it is usually raised. "Te Bin Ladens" are not the same as Osama bin Laden. He has dozens of siblings, probably thousands of cousins. You could find whole towns that have less people than a family like the bin Ladens. Trying to project guilt by association is usually a bad idea, and its esp so when the association is indirect on both sides. And even if President Bush and Osama bin Laden where the best of friends and had many strong business relationships it still would still be irrelevant to the issue at hand.
