Valerie is the grand neice of Vernon Jordan. Vernon Jordan IIRC was or perhaps still is the lawyer for Mohammad Hussein Alamoudi. He was the head of Capitol Trust Bank which has offces in NY and in London ; it was a bank under investigation in Britain for laundering money to Osama bin Laden. M. H. Alamoudi succeded Khalid bin Mahfouz t the National Commercial Bank, NCB. The investigtion started because the Saudi King had the bank and bin Mahfouz audited because things were not adding up with pension fund assets; the audit discovered that the bank officials were sending payoffs to OBL, supposedly to bribe OBL not to attack their interests. Some of these transfers were used in a plot to assassinate Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak in Ethiopia in 1995. In true Democrat fashion the 5 wealthy saudis involved in the money transfers had robbed the Saudi pension fund to make these transfers via the NCB to the terror charities Blessed Relief and Islamic Relief and on to bin Laden.

Of course all this was vigorously denied and the journalists who reported it were mobbed immediately. Which is strange in that stories are reported all the time which are blatantly false yet never recieve any attention from lawyers at all.

Khalid bin mahfouz had been charged way back in 1992 in onntion with tax fraud and was involved with the BCCI embezzlement scandal, into which Bank oof america was drawn in it eagerness to get a stake in the ME. BCCI collapsed because it was allocating huge loans that weren't backed, not unlike the more recent mortgage scandals.

Now, Jordan also worked for the very same law firm that reprisented the owner Salah Idriss [sp?] of the "aspirin fatry" that got bombed in Sudan though as far as I can tell he was not directly involved in that case.

But Jordan was also the lawyer for the infamous terror charity Holy Land Foundation.
