	Craig Unger - A BuzzFlash Interview
		In his book, "House of Bush, House of Saud," journalist Craig Unger lays out a compelling case that the Bush family is so inextricably bound up with the Saudi royal family that it could not hold them responsible for the role that many Saudi Arabians played in the 9/11 day of terror.
		Craig Unger: That he was being investigated for this by Newsweek.
		Craig Unger: Baker-Botts represents the Carlyle Group and has represented some of the Saudis in the suit by the relatives of the 9/11 victims.

		Unger, a former deputy editor of The New York Observer who has written for The New Yorker, Esquire and Vanity Fair, goes to great lengths to outline just how attached the two clans have grown over the years.
		Unger, however, wants to do more than just underscore how avaricious -- and unconcerned with the appearance of conflict of interest -- the Bushes have been in their long climb to the upper-upper-class.
		To suggest, as Unger does, that support for the Afghan rebels was the result of Bush family corruption -- especially when you remember that it originated in the Carter administration -- strains credulity.

		Unger is regarded as one of the leaders of the design-build movement in the public sector.
		Unger was the Procurement Executive for the Federal Bureau of Prisons where he led that agency’s design and construction program from a one-dimensional “low bid” approach to one that embraced alternate delivery systems.

		CRAIG UNGER: Again, this is a relationship that goes back to the 40's between the United States and Saudi Arabia.

		UNGER: What's extraordinary about this is exactly who he was campaigning with. And, in Florida, he met with a man named Sami al- Arian, who is now under indictment for allegedly being part of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
		UNGER: Well, $1.4 billion is a very big number. And the Bush family has had personal business interests in Saudi Arabia through giant firms like the Carlisle Group, which is a huge private equity firm in Washington.

		During Unger's tenure, paid circulation, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, has stayed right around 120,000 at a time when many magazines are losing readers; newsstand sales, a direct measure of an editor's ability to generate buzz, are up 40 percent.
		Still, the Unger who's been editing the magazine for the past year is, insiders say, a different man. For reasons known only to the principals, he and Lipson had a serious falling-out.
		Given that Unger's salary was thought to be in the vicinity of $200,000, the settlement must have been substantial, but Lipson has evidently decided it's worth it.

	Amazon.de: House of Bush, House of Saud: English Books: Craig Unger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In this potentially explosive book, investigative journalist Unger, who has written for the New Yorker, Esquire and Vanity Fair, pieces together the highly unusual and close personal and financial relationships between the Bush family and the ruling family of Saudi Arabia—and questions the implications for Bush's preparedness, or possible lack thereof, for September 11.
		Unger also questions whether the Bush grew so complacent about the Saudis that his administration ignored then White House terrorism czar Richard Clarke’s repeated warnings and recommendations about the Saudis and al-Qaeda.
		But whether one buys Unger’s arguments or not, there’s little doubt that with this intensely researched, well-written book he has poured more flame onto the political fires of 2004.

	House of Bush, House of Saud, by Craig Unger \| Urban Vancouver
		Unger's book (and other sources of course), he makes a strong case that many Americans do not know (or maybe don't want to know) about the connections between the Bush family and their associates, and the Saudi and Bin Laden families and their associates.
		As I recall, Unger states that the relationship between the Saudi royal family and the US Republicans (particularly the Bush family) goes back almost 40 years.
		Excerpts from Unger's book and other information can be found at the "House of Bush, House of Saud" web site (http://www.houseofbush.com).

	House of Bush (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		For Unger, all this is evidence at the least of a "strategy the Saudis had of investing in U.S. companies that were connected to powerful politicians." Unger claims that Saudi interests have paid not less than $1.477 billion to persons and entities in the Bush circle.
		Unger's best pages tell how, in the days of panic and recrimination after Sept. 11, Prince Bandar managed to spirit prominent members of the Saud and bin Laden families out of the United States on chartered aircraft.
		Yet Unger's charge that Prince Ahmed bin Salman, who was evacuated from the racehorse sales at Lexington, Ky., was a bin Laden agent in the Saudi royal family is based on double hearsay.

		Unger seemed to imply complicity of the Bush administration in 9/11, and until that is proven beyond reproach, I'm not buying it.
		Even though all of Unger's work needs to be viewed with a skeptical eye due to it's lack of support, it doesn't mean that he hasn't grasped several important threads of truth.
		If anything, Craig Unger's book shows how a President or any other world leader is more than just the person in office-they are a member of a circle of family and friends that are more than the sum of its parts.

	House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties -- book review
		Unger documents the relationship’s earliest origins in the 1970s when an oil-rich House of Saud began courting American politicians in an effort to gain more political, military and economic influence.
		Unger shows how the Saudis were instrumental in the rise of such notorious companies as the Carlyle Group, Harken Energy and other U.S. corporations drenched in Saudi investment capital.
		Unger lays out a truly shocking and compelling case that the Bush administration -- indeed, the entire Bush family -- is so closely aligned with our nation’s biggest enemies that they are allowing terrorism to occur without any retribution to the offenders.

	Strand Bookstore: House of Bush, House of Saud; by Craig Unger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		David Unger recounts the interests of the house of Saud in the oil business in Houston and tells how the Saudis were especially helpful to President George H.W. Bush during the first Iraq war, when they benefited militarily and economically from U.S. contracts.
		Unger questions whether the relationship between the two families might in any way have colored post-9/11 actions by the White House, and he looks into whether the House of Saud, followers of the Wahhabi sect, can be implicated in supporting and funding Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda.
		Unger fruitfully probes the ambiguous--and fatally compromised--Saudi-American relationship spanning two decades.This part of the book succeeds, sometimes brilliantly: It's must reading for anyone who wishes to understand the origins of 9/11 and America's precarious position in the world today."

		Salon is proud to present a series of excerpts from Unger's book "House of Bush, House of Saud," to be published on March 16 by Scribner.

		The latest in a line of business links between the Bush family and the Saudis involves the Carlyle Group, a private-equity firm for which George H. Bush is a senior advisor and former secretary of state James Baker III is a senior counselor.
		The Carlyle Group has received $80 million in Saudi investment, Unger reports, including $2 million from the bin Ladens which was returned to them after September 11.

	'Scarborough Country' for July 13 - MSNBC Transcripts - MSNBC.com
		Craig Unger, you and Michael Moore suggest that George W. Bush is bought and paid for by the Saudis. I want to know what your read is on al Qaeda terrorist al-Makky‘s surrender to Saudi officials today. Why did he it? And should the Saudis have offered amnesty?
		Now, listen, Craig, I respect what you have done in the past. And I want to respect what you say in the future. I just don‘t know how you can defend a statement like this. It‘s OK for you just to say to us he shouldn‘t have said that. That was irresponsible.
		Unger to try to suggest otherwise. We can have honest disagreements about policy. But to suggest that the president of the United States would allow potential murderers of 3,000 Americans to leave this country because of some imaginary financial links that you have conjured up in your imagination is an absolute disgrace.
