Tip for you, WNU Editor,
"The chairman of a key U.S. military contractor in the Middle East was recently charged with multiple felonies in a major fraud, money laundering and public corruption scheme. According to court papers in Kuwait, where the charges were filed, misappropriated investor money so far totals more than $160 million, a figure that could go higher, the Project On Government Oversight has learned."

Jay. David Axe always sends me an update on what is on his website .... but he did not send me this one .... and it is the first time that I am reading about it. This just pisses me off. With all the crap that is going on in the world we have to read this. Mucha thanks for the lead .... I will be posting on it later.
I finally got around to reading the document that you referred to me about 2 weeks ago on "How Hundreds of Saudis Joined ISIS in the U.S.". Will be posting later. Again. Thanks.
