FAHRENHEIT 9/11 -- WHAT WAS I THINKING? VIGNETTE |
[James Moore, Investigative Reporter and author] A lot of us suspected through the years that there has been Saudi oil money involved in all of these companies: Harken, Spectrum 7, Arbusto Drilling, all of the Bush companies. Whenever they got into trouble, there were these angel investors who flowed money into the companies. [Craig Unger, Author, House of Bush, House of Saud] So the question is, why would Saudis, who had all the oil in the world, go around the globe to invest in this lousy oil company? And the thing is, Harken had one big asset, Harken had one big thing going for it which is that George W. Bush was on its board of directors at a time when his father was president of the United States.
