What do you do when you've been busted funding terrorism throughout the
Middle East? If you're the richest (per-capita) country on earth, Qatar,
you hire big PR guns in Washington --
in this case former Attorney General John Ashcroft -- to spin spin spin.
What's in it for Ashcroft? A cool $2.5 million. That's how Washington
works. You want to play? You better pay.
