Reply #105: Clark was endorsed by Sharon Watkins, the Enron whistleblower [View All]

I don't think she's a part of Sibel Edmonds' group, but she has played a part in exposing the way Big Oil operates.

I'm probably going to be talking over my head to some extent, because this is not an area in which I have much expertise. But I don't think you have to look far to find Clark's being extremely critical of Bush failure to pressure the Saudis to go after terrorists, and the implications behind that failure. I've heard him speak about how the Saudis have supported the wahabi Islamist movement, and are responsible for funding the wahabist madrassas in places like Pakistan.

He's also been pretty outspoken about the need to wean ourselves from Saudi oil. I seem to recall on of the major tenets of the Clark 04 campaign was investment in new energy technologies. Not that such a view is particularly unique among Democrats, but I do think Clark's plan was probably the most visionary and at the same time realistic.

Don't know if that answers your question. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can elaborate further.
