LITTLE ROCK, ARK. - President Clinton's new $165 million library here
was funded in part by gifts of $1 million or more each from the Saudi
royal family and three Saudi businessmen.

The governments of Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar and the deputy prime
minister of Lebanon all also appear to have donated $1 million or more
for the archive and museum that opened last week.

Democrats spent much of the presidential campaign this year accusing
President Bush of improperly close ties to Saudi Arabia. The case was
made in Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11," in a bestselling book
by Craig Unger titled "House of Bush, House of Saud," and by the
Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Kerry."This administration
delayed pressuring the Saudis," Mr. Kerry said on October 20. "I will
insist that the Saudis crack down on charities that funnel funds to
terrorists... and on anti-American and anti-Israel hate speech."The
Media Fund, a Democratic group whose president is a former Clinton
White House aide, Harold Ickes, spent millions airing television
commercials in swing states with scripts such as, "The Saudi royal
family...wealthy...powerful...corrupt. And close Bush family friends."

Perhaps as a result, the Saudi donations to the Clinton library are
raising some eyebrows. Mr. Unger said he suspects that the Saudi
support may have something to do with a possible presidential bid by
Senator Clinton in 2008.

"They want to keep their options open no matter who's in power and
whether that's four years from now or whatever," the author said.
"Just a few million is nothing to them to keep their options open."
