The war on Terror? or contributions to your Alma Mater?
According to the Arab News via Mark Kleiman and The New York Sun seems that the same Saudi Princeling who tried to give $10MM bucks to New York after 9/11, and was rightly rebuffed by Rudy (a man with a spine) has donated money, the amount is not really relevant, to Phillips Andover Academy, W's family prep school (he's not really from Texas ya know). Anyhow, the Saudi donated the funds to The George Herbert Walker Bush Scholarship Fund at the apparent behest of, guess who? Junior apparently.
RIYADH, 25 December 2002 — Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal has donated half a million dollars to a Massachusetts-based scholarship fund named after former US President George Bush, the prince’s Kingdom Holding Company said yesterday.
Prince Alwaleed “donated $500,000 to the George Herbert Walker Bush Scholarship Fund, established by the Philips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts,” it said.
The establishment of the fund was announced at the 60th reunion of the 1942 class to honor Bush, who is one of its graduates, the company said, adding that US President George W. Bush had commended contributors to the scholarship fund named after his father.
No wonder they have overclassified that document from Iraq, would not want to embarass the Saudi's or anything. Or stop those contributions from going to Andover
