Russ,
One of my main tools for doing research is following the trail of money that leads to a candidate or to a group that circles around a politician. In your chapter called the Quacking Duck, you talk about the money trail of Harken Energy, which you call a "financial savior" sent to rescue one of W's failed business deals. You called Harken a "strange kind of corporate beast, like a newly discovered species of manatee," which was associated with "BCCI, gold chaches, and an alphabet soup of secret societies appearing at critical junctures to bail out Harken, traveling to the White House to meet with President George H. W. Bush, then flying off the make deals with the likes of Saddam Hussein..."
Did you come to any final conclusions from research what--or who--Harken represented?
