Will This Story Ever End? More on BAE.

Yes, I have yet one more article about the BAE-Saudi-US scandal. Here are the previous posts, and here's the new article. Two executives flew into the US and were "briefly detained." Not much seems to have happened, but the article summarizes what's been going on.

[Edit:] Apparently they received subpoenas at the airport, and if you've been paying attention, they can now copy your laptop (and anything else electronic) when you enter the country. So these executives probably had their laptops copied.

The Story That Just Won't End - BAE

Yes, it is still going on. Read my old posts here. Now the US is worried that top secret American technology might get out there. This is a huge fiasco on all sides.

More BAE Nonsense

This is the story that does not end. See my previous posts. Here's the link to the latest update. In short, BAE (a British company) was going to supply fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. Apparently, though, these jets contain many American parts. So the US government is getting involved. The linked article is an interesting summary of what's been going on. The whole thing is a fiasco.

Saudis in BAE, but not in Lebanon

There's an update on the whole BAE-Saudi Arabia scandal. See Post 1 (Jan 2007), Post 2 (June 2007), and Post 3 (June 2007).

Also, Saudi Arabia is telling its citizens not to visit Lebanon right now. Who knows what's going to happen next in Lebanon. It's getting crazy.

Update: More Saudi-BAE stuff

Where to begin? How about a bunch of links so you can read about the whole big scandal yourself. And don't forget to go back and read my original posts.

BAE has no idea if the US is investigating.
The US is starting to investigate the scandal.
A British high muckity-muck is heading the investigation over in Britain.

Things are heating up and getting interesting. Turns out Prince Bandar has been making BILLIONS off of this stuff. Click here for the Guardian's coverage of the whole thing.

UPDATE: Gulf News: Saudi Buys Fighter Jets

Here's the old link, so you can refresh your memory. The latest news is that the former Saudi Ambassador to the US received hundreds of millions of pounds from BAE to facilitate a deal. The British Ministry of Defense (or Defence as they spell it) knew about it too.

Gulf News: Saudi Buys Fighter Jets

Saudi Arabia is buying 72 fighter jets from BAE Systems. The UK was investigating a 1980s deal between those two, but dropped the investigation when Saudi Arabia allegedly threatened to cancel the current deal. See the full article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6238633.stm
