(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, reacted with disbelief to The Wall Street Journal report of yesterday that George H.W. Bush, the father of President Bush, works for the bin Laden family business in Saudi Arabia through the Carlyle Group, an international consulting firm.

The senior Bush had met with the bin Laden family at least twice.

Other top Republicans are also associated with the Carlyle group, such as former Secretary of State James A. Baker.

The terrorist leader Osama bin Laden had supposedly been "disowned" by his family, which runs a multi-billion dollar business in Saudi Arabia and is a major investor in the senior Bush's firm.

Other reports have questioned, though, whether members of his Saudi family have truly cut off Osama bin Laden.

Indeed, the Journal also reported yesterday that the FBI has subpoenaed the bin Laden family business's bank records.
