To bring down the BFEE, we need to raise awareness of the connections between international money laundering, drug-dealing and terrorism, crooked S&Ls, BCCI, petrodollars and the House of Bush. To do that, people need to know who James R Bath is.
The fact the “Fahrenheit 9/11” reviewer omitted Bath’s name may be an accident or intentional to avoid “legal issues” or happenstance. With all DU respect for the reviewer, leaving out Bath’s name is a critical omission.
Most people today will say, "Who?" Odds are, they don’t know the lowdown on Bush's Texas ANG buddy who went on to become the US business agent for the bin Mahfouz and bin Laden clans.
The guy is mentioned prominently in Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11” and Craig Unger’s “House of Bush, House of Saud.” They learned about it from Pete Brewton’s “The Mafia, CIA and George Bush,” “False Profits” by Peter Truell and Larry Gurwin, and “Spider’s Web” by Alan Friedman – and many other important (and under-appreciated) books that documented the BFEE in the 80s and 90s.
Gee. I wonder why the name of the link between George W Bush and the bin Laden and bin Mahfouz clans would be omitted? The people in Michigan, like the American people in general – most especially Chimpy’s supporters -- need to learn exactly how James R Bath helped sink Saudi money in Smirk’s HARKEN Energy. That was the beginning of a most hideous relationship.
MOORE, PLEASE: Snide, Bush-bashing 'Fahrenheit 9/11' stoops low and reveals little June 25, 2004

EXCERPT...
The most interesting section of "Fahrenheit 9/11," whose title was appropriated without approval from Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451," a novel about a government that burns books to keep its citizenry in the dark, is the one exploring the long-standing relationship between the Bush family and the House of Saud, and the financial rewards to both father and son.
All of this was thoroughly documented in a book by Craig Unger, who is interviewed on camera. If your only news source is Fox and you were unaware of that -- or the accusation that Bush allowed members of bin Laden's family and other Saudis to fly out of the United States at a time U.S. citizens were grounded -- the movie should finally provoke a few questions.
But the only thing like a revelation is Moore's discovery that the other pilot in George W. Bush's National Guard who was forbidden to fly for failure to take a medical test ended up in the employ of the bin Laden family. What that might prove, however, is left unanswered. The National Guard incident also allows Moore to take the film's cheapest shot: When Bush's failure to take the physical is cited, the instantly recognizable guitar riff of Eric Clapton's "Cocaine" is played on the soundtrack. Runner-up is a montage of footage showing dead children in Iraq, followed by a clip of Britney Spears saying she believes in the president and the course he's following. I'm guessing Spears would say the same thing if Kerry, or Jennifer Lopez, was the commander in chief.
