Quote by: Nono Among other things Margolis's parting shot at Tony Blair, and a further reminder of how rotten the system really is. Eric Margolis | Foreign Correspondent : THE MOTHER OF ALL SCANDALS

I followed the link and read that article.

What is so stunning, in that article ? Not much.
It is a common practice that some influencial guys are being paid up by others to promote others' enterprise.

Example :

The UK `Guardian’ newspaper and BBC recently revealed that Bandar personally received over US $2 billion in `marketing fees’ from the British defense firm BAE as part of the huge, 1985 al-Yamamah arms deal. Al-Yamamah means dove in Arabic. Charges of massive corruption over the Al-Yamamah deal have swirled for years. But even for the rich Saudis, $2 billion is a lot of money. That’s twice what Washington’s most important Arab ally, Egypt, was given.

What is your concern, then :
- UK "Guardian"
- BBC
- Bandar (himself :-) )
- $2 billion (hmmm, I bet many of us would love to get it :-))) )
- British defense firm BAE
- al-Yamamah (corruption included)
- Egypt
???
