What evidence do you have ?
Reader comment on item: Government for Sale [to the Saudis]
Submitted by B. Weiss (United States), Dec 5, 2002 at 15:43
What evidence do you have to your assertion that..."Since then, U.S. politicians, diplomats, flag officers and lobbyists have enjoyed a cozy relationship with their counterparts on the Saudi side. The tie is premised on Americans - Democrats and Republicans alike -accommodating the kingdom's wishes and in return, being plied with substantial sums of money, either at the time or after they leave government service."
