The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

********************************************************Absolute coruption corrupts absolutely. I was in Saudi Arabia in 1964/1965 working for an engineering company who had a contract to do a topogarhic survey of about 20 miles of the Wadi Sahaba for Food Machinary Co. There was underground water there that they would use for agriculture. The natural gas from the oil wells would power the pumps and there was a lot of it. You could see flames of the stand pipes for miles around. We stayed in some army barricks in Ein Harrad, kind of like headquaters for Aramco. There were two kinds of Arabs, the leaders, who were light skinned and large. And the bedouins, who were dark skinned, small, and lived in tents. They were our helpers, good workers, and had a good sense of humor. The bedouins said liked us but not Aramco, because they treated them like coolies....G%
