Case 16: Tenet and Bush Helped the Saudis Cook CIA Intelligence

I investigated who was commissioning bogus articles from that Harvard professor who had written without evidence that Arab banks were corrupt.

That was interesting because a fourth of his "extracurricular" work was being commissioned by the Saudis and still ending up as reading material for the CIA analysts.

Most of those calls were being made from the Saudi Embassy in Washington, DC. I paid them a courtesy visit in 2004 and came away with their list of "favorite US sources of articles we trust".

When I compared it to the CIA's and White House's list it was almost identical to the CIA list. The Saudis had deleted 3 of the over 100 names and added one. The list was given to me on a floppy disc. That gave me the date of the original creation of the file and the last time it had been modified.
