... James Baker's Law Firm defended Saudi Arabia against 9/11 Family Members
A lawsuit seeking $1 trillion in damages on behalf of the victims of the September 11 had been launched against Saudi Arabia. As counteroffsensive, according to MSNBC article, the Saudi defense minister amazingly gave "highly detailed new evidence of the Saudi government’s role in funneling millions of dollars to a web of Islamic charities that are widely suspected by U.S. officials of covertly financing the operations of Al Qaeda and other international terrorist groups".
But precisely, because the payments were “clearly an official act”, Saudi Arabia claimed they were therefore outside the scope of U.S. courts.
Baker Botts, the law firm which defends Saudi Arabia, has former secretary of State James Baker as one of its senior partners. Its recent alumni include Robert Jordan, the former personal lawyer for President Bush who is now U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
MSNBC told that another former administration official at a big law firm was also approached to represent a high-ranking Saudi prince in the case but turned it down. “I kept asking myself, ‘do I want to be representing the Saudis against the 9-11 families—especially after all the trouble we had getting cooperation from the Saudis on terrorism’,” the official said. “I finally just said no.”
