It Helps To Have Connections

Dallas attorney Robert Jordan was confirmed by the 
United States Senate to serve as ambassador to Saudi Arabia. 
Jordan has no diplomatic experience. However, his 
connections leave no doubt as to why he was named to the 
post. He defended George W. Bush in a probe of insider 
trading allegations in 1990. The allegations involved the 
sale by Bush of 60% of his Harken Energy Corp. stocks two 
months before a 25% drop in the stock's price. 
According to a 7 Sep 2000 article by the Associated Press, 
"At the time of the investigation, Bush's father was president 
of the United States and the SEC was run by one of his biggest 
political supporters, Richard Breeden. The SEC's 
then-general counsel, James R. Doty, was another staunch 
presidential supporter who as a private attorney was George
W. Bush's lawyer when he purchased his share of the Texas Rangers 
baseball team." 
This is not Jordan's only connection to the Bush family. 
Jordan is a corporate lawyer in the Dallas office of 
Houston-based Baker Botts. 
Baker Botts has an office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 
The client list at Baker Botts includes "more than half of the 
Fortune 100 companies". The client list also includes The 
Carlyle Group. 
On the board of directors for Carlyle is former President George 
Herbert Walker Bush. 
James A. Baker III is the current Baker in Baker Botts. 
Baker was Secretary of State under the first President Bush. 
He is currently senior counsel to The Carlyle Group. Baker 
was a classmate of Donald H. Rumsfeld at Yale University. 
Rumsfeld, the current Secretary of Defense, was the roommate 
of Frank C. Carlucci at Yale.
Carlucci, who was head of the National Security Counsel 
under President Ronald Reagan, is currently chairman of The 
Carlyle Group. 
The current President Bush was a director of Caterair during 
the years 1990-1994. Caterair is owned by The Carlyle Group. 
The board of directors of The Carlyle Group also includes: 
former Phillipines President Fidel V. Ramos, former director 
of the U.S. Office of Management & Budget Richard Darman, 
former Assistant to the President (Bush I) Robert Grady, the 
Prime Minister of South Korea, Park Tae Joon, former SEC 
chairman Arthur Levitt, former Prime Minister of Great 
Britain John Major, former general director of the World 
Health Organization Michael Orloff, retired U.S. Army 
General J. H. Binford Peay, former president of Deutsche 
Bundesbank Karl Otto Pohl, and former chairman of the Joint 
Chief's of Staff John Shalikashvili. 
Two-thirds of Carlyle's holding are in defence and 
telecommunications companies.
At least $2 million of Carlyle funding has come from the bin 
Laden family of Saudi Arabia.
