Poppy and Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah
Can this administration possibly get any more outrageous?
Baker & Botts -- this is the law firm defending the Saudis in the lawsuit filed by victims of 9-11. The "Baker" in this law firm is James Baker III, who is also the leading counsel for the Carlyle group and was the point man for George Bush during the election 2000 recount.

"...Baker Botts is a Lone Star legal legend. The law firm's history stretches back to 1840, when Peter Gray first hung his shingle in Houston. The firm eventually became Baker & Botts after Walter Browne Botts and James Addison Baker, great-grandfather of former US Secretary of State and current partner James A. Baker III, joined the partnership. Its more than 680 lawyers specialize in practice areas ranging from banking to litigation to tax, but headquartered deep in the heart of Texas, it's no surprise that Baker Botts has carved a niche in energy as well, representing clients such as Baker Hughes and Conoco. As its energy practice has evolved, the firm has set up offices in Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia..."
