#3 Gromgoro, that was my thought as well but someone on another board said that the Congress was behind the pullout of Lebanon. I don't know the facts but the retreat didn't help and Iran/Contra certainly didn't send a very good message either.

#4 From the Democrats own archives:

Advised by Jim Baker, Saudi Princes Seek Immunity Against 9/11 Lawsuits
18-Oct-03
September 11 Lawsuits

CNN reports, "Lawyers representing two Saudi princes argued Friday that their clients have immunity from lawsuits relating to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, because they are diplomatic officials... Bill Jeffress [of Jim Baker's firm Baker Botts], representing Prince Sultan, said that the contributions made to Islamic charities that may have funneled money to bin Laden amount to 'an exercise by a foreign official of discretion to decide which international Islamic charity and what relief operations by Islamic organizations the country's going to support.' Ron Motley, lead attorney in the case against the Saudis, said the Saudi government and the two princes were told at least three times by U.S. and French officials that their contributions were funding terrorism. 'They were told that the very charities they were giving millions of dollars to every year were converting that money to terrorist activities including al Qaeda.'" 9/11 victims seek $1 TRILLION in damages.

#5 Fascinating. This is the second big op-ed piece in the Investor's Business Daily that's saying all the right things. What's going on over there?
