James Baker, Baker Botts and Saudi Arabia
Not that I'm a fan of Michael Weiner, but it is true that James Baker's Houston mega-law firm Baker Botts represents the Saudi royal family. Since Baker is heading the Iraq Study Group, why is this fact not mentioned in any of the news stories? And it's not just Baker. Google Vernon Jordan or the other members.
Let's assume that the fact that members of this study group retain the Saudi royal family as their client has nothing to do with their conclusions. Doesn't the fact that they represent the largest power in the Persian Gulf make it relevant and worthy of reporting? I think it does.
Go ahead and search. New York Times, Houston Chronicle, Washington Post. The only people mentioning this fact are two lefty bloggers and Michael Weiner. Conclude what you will.
