Is Ken Adelman suggesting that Bush & co. are essentially corrupt? It sure looks like it. Money quote:

While it's infuriating that Saudis bankroll terrorist fanatics, that's a fact about a foreign country that we must confront. But it's more infuriating that the Bush administration spikes this critical information and continues to consider -- as Secretary of State Colin Powell chummily put it -- Saudi Arabia as "a great friend to the United States for many, many years and a strategic partner." This happy face stance would surely succumb to Bush's realism and moralism, were it not for Saudi money ...

If the leaders of the Democratic Party were themselves "a little bit more on America's side", the Saudi issue is the kind they could take and run with to the White House. Don't hold your breath.
