A Princely Sum?
So there's proof via Panorama, that a Saudi prince 'received arms cash' during the deal which is talked about so much in the papers. There's huge secrecy over all of this, something you have to be concious of. Dealing with confidential documents, if anyone gets copies, someone's broken the law, regardless. As Robert Peston states at the start of his "Saudi sandstorm" piece.
Now that I've calmed down from last Monday's Panorama on Nimrod, I think I'll sit and watch this one. Hopefully it'll be more factual, and less dramatic, something the Beeb seems to be falling into, unfortunately.
As I've said before, and was said by several observers of all this, who exactly benefits from all the hype and news, particularly if the contracts are cancelled? The US, it's known, aren't happy about loosing out on the deal. And our esteemed colleagues across the channel aren't that quot;Bon": about it either.
