James Moore, Investigative Reporter and
author: A lot of us suspected through the years that there has been
Saudi oil money involved in all of these companies: Harken, Spectrum 7,
Arbusto Drilling, all of the Bush companies. Whenever they got into
trouble, there were these angel investors who flowed money into the
companies. Craig Unger, Author, House of Bush, House of Saud: So the question is, why would Saudis, who had all the oil in the world, go around the globe to invest in this lousy oil company? And the thing is, Harken had one big asset, Harken had one big thing going for it which is that George W. Bush was on its board of directors at a time when his father was president of the United States.
George Bush (August 1992): When you're the president's son and you've got unlimited access combined with some credentials from a prior campaign, in Washington, D.C., people tend to respect that. I mean, access is power. And I can find my dad and talk to him any time of the day.
