This is a interesting David and Goliath story about a little town in the US that is taking BAE systems to court over alleged bribes to Prince Bandar the Saudi Arabia Ambassador to the US and close personal friend of the Bush family.
You may remember there was some deal on fighters with BAE and as part of it there was a provision to pay a load of money to Prince Bandar the serious fraud people got wind of this in the UK but Blair et al shut the investigation down due to the Saudis threatening other deals and to hold back intelligence information. Although subsequently the courts have decided that was illegal and the investigation is apparently back on pending appeals.
Anyway this little town had some 100k invested in BAE as part of their pensions so they figured if the are wasting 2billion on bribes to the Saudis that's money that could be better spent and so initiated legal proceedings. As a result they have had the chief executive of BAE held briefly and served with a subpoena as well as frozen the US assets of Prince Bandar.
