Great job, professional, actually.

I think that I remember reading that there was a connection between that guy from Detroit that was named in the Volker Report and the Alamoudi dynasty, as well. I seem to remember something about that trip to the Middle East that was arranged for the anti-war congress members (including Chuck Hagel). It really doesn't have anything to do with Wilson, though.

Is the Detroit guy you're thinking of David Bonior? I haven't found a direct connection between him and Wilson, but they did both have links to the Alamoudis and the antiwar movement's Congressional allies, and I think there are signs of coordination at those levels. I've been writing up something on that I'll be posting shortly--meant to get it out this week and didn't quite make it.

I realized after I typed that the Detroit guy you mean is probably Shakir Al-Khafaji, who also financed Scott Ritter's movie, right? He paid Jim McDermott, who went with Bonior to Baghdad; and Bonior in turn received a campaign donation from Abdurahman Alamoudi on other occasion for lobbying activity against anti-terrorist legislation--that's why I thought of him when you mentioned Detroit and Alamoudi, but then I reread and realized he wasn't in the Volcker Report so you probably meant someone else. Sorry for any confusion.
