| The mother of all scandals
Quote: |
Quote by: Eric Margolis The Bandar scandal is hugely embarrassing for Blair and Bush, who claim to be leading a crusade to bring democracy and good government to the benighted Muslim world. It starkly confirms Islamists’ accusations that the west promotes corruption. And it dramatically exposes the dirty underbelly of the west’s much-vaunted “special relationship” with the Saudi royal family. | Among other things Margolis's parting shot at Tony Blair, and a further reminder of how rotten the system really is.
