Don't know how this fits in, but Former FBI Director Louis Freeh was working as legal council to Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar, defending him in a corruption investigation launched by the U.S. Department of Justice four years ago. The investigation accused a British defense contractor of funneling billions of dollars in payments and gifts to Bandar so that he could buy himself an airplane (which he had painted in Dallas Cowboy colors) and refurbish his royal palaces. Watch Frontline's interview with Freeh here.
Freeh is a VERY interesting lawyer for Bandar to choose! Freeh stepped down in June 2001, long participating in FBI obstruction of any investigations of [Saudi and other] financial backing of Al Qaeda.
I can't locate if Freeh was Bandar's lawyer until he left the USA and disappeared - although on paper was appointed and still 'holds' the position of head of Saudi Intelligence, but it seems this was so. More and more he reminds me of another Saudi, Adnan Khashoggi, infamous multi-billionaire and arms dealer (and Iran-Contra criminal), who had the world's largest private boat, and once had hired Gorden Novel as his chief of Security...small world.
