If this has been discussed on another thread, please direct me there. Can anyone vouch or debunk the credibility of this article? It implies that Bush Sr. is an employee of a consulting fimr with ties to the bin Laden family.

As I recall it from recent background reporting, the Bin Laden family owns a legitimate construction company, the largest in Saudi Arabia. The family is also reported to have severed its ties with Osama - in other words, disowned him.

I’m going to be lazy and offer an _ad hominum_ argument. This is from the author of this [article](http://www.aztlan.net/levylew.htm) about a conspiracy of Jewish tarts to undermine the American government.

My guess is that it isn’t about to win any Pulitzers.
