It depends on what he got in exchange for it. If it can be shown that the protection money paid by the Saudis did fund the terrorists, then I would expect him to demand as much as possible from the government in exchange for his cooperation. But, at the same time, I realize that there is a good chance that AQ, or fellow travelers, can now topple the Saudi government and become the new Saudi government. Thus, in his place, I'd be careful contributing to the downfall of the present government. David's theory requires two generations of traitors in the Bush family. It requires either 1) That these traitors to convince very bright people around them that they are actually working for the US or 2) That a number of other traitors have existed in the government for years. Then, one would have to argue what would two generations of an old money, old prestige family gain in exchange for dropping the Bush name from one of the premier names in the history of the US to one that will live in greatest infamy. Why would Bush Sr. risk his own presidency in order to have protect Bush Jr. from having embarrassing party photos shown. The chance that the Saudi's had these photos, while no one else did, is pretty long too. David mentions Occam's razor. There is no way that I can reconcile his claims with the use of this principal. Its like arguing that you found fractional charge before checking for mundane backgrounds. Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
