The "feral beast" at work

The Guardian's reporting on the scandal surrounding BAE Systems and possible corrupt activity involving the former Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Bandar continues today with the news that British "Merchant of Death" bought a wee plane for the otherwise impoverished member of the Saudi royal family. The operating costs for the plane, which cost £75 million - obviously fully loaded", are still being covered by BAE. The Airbus 340 was also, rather amusingly, painted in silver and blue, the colours of Bandar's favourite American football team the Dallas Cowboys, before delivery. I wonder if the Decider(TM) or his dad have ever had the chance to enjoy the Prince's airborne hospitality.
