Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Louis Freeh.

Frontline’s investigation of international bribery, through the lens of the BAE al-Yamamah case, may be the most compelling television I have ever seen. The fact that Louis Freeh is now Prince Bandar’s mouthpiece just puts the icing on the cake.

One question Frontline chose not to ask: How much of the $2 billion slush fund BAE put into accounts Prince Bandar controlled at the Riggs Bank (with one of the Bush uncles making sure no suspicious transaction reports were filed) went into the account of the Prince’s wife, which made substantial payments to two of the “advance men” for 9-11?
