BCCI and former Saudi intelligence head Kamal Adham became common fare on network news programs by 1991; both are mentioned in this 1985 book. Emerson had an inside track, because in 1978 he served on the staff of Frank Church's Senate subcommittee investigating Aramco and Saudi oil production. The use of subpoena power eventually persuaded SoCal and Exxon, two of the slimier members of Aramco, to produce some information.
In addition to big oil and other corporate interests, Emerson examines
the 1981 Senate vote on AWACs, the role of the Center for Strategic and
International Studies (a DC spooktank), PR mercenaries like Robert Gray,
and lobbyists such as Frederick G. Dutton and John Carl West. He also
includes a chapter on the academic connection, detailing how a little
grease in scholarly directions was able to produce impressive results.
