Learning from AIPAC

"Mayor Bill Bell plans to visit Saudi Arabia next month. Its government will pick up his expenses. Bell will travel with 10 other mayors May 7-14, the city of Durham announced Monday. The mayors were invited by the Saudi Arabian embassy in Washington. Bell said he was not sure how he was chosen for the trip, but he had spoken with representatives of the Saudi embassy during a trip to Washington for a mayors' conference." And we know that for a free trip and a free meal, American politicians are willing to praise the North Korean Zu Che theory. (thanks Linda)
