Yeechhh. Osama Bin Laudin had at one time worked for the Bin Laudin Corp. Some of the GE sales guys I worked with had actually worked with him in the early 1980's. After the USS Cole incident, I remember having to talk to the State Department on whether we could continue with one of our deals with the Saudia Bin Laudin Corp. This was right around/just after the 2000 Election. They green lighted it...

To be so close to that evil, make you think sometimes.
