My City friend has just sent the following email – I reproduce it unedited:

I was looking through the records for a middle eastern investment organisation this morning. Investors listed included Osama Bin Laden and Mr. George Walker Bush. George never has been one to let a good business opportunity go to waste over a few moral hazards…

About as conclusive as the evidence for Osama/Saddam links, I’d argue (that’s ‘not at all conclusive’, before anyone accuses me of suggesting Mr Bush is in fact a terror conspiracist).
