7. The Saudis are big shareholders in AOL/TimeWarner
Edited on Tue May-10-05 05:20 PM by blm
and Steve Case and his wife are HUGE fundie donors.

Case is a BFEE loyalist, all the way. They engineered the takeover of Time Warner and CNN based on Enron style accounting....they LIED. Bigtime. And when it came out BushInc gave them a slap on the wrist.
