Sure. Look at Seymour Hersh's story in the New Yorker a few weeks ago. He
documents Saudi princes and businessmen giving money to OBL, visiting his
Afghan redoubt for "hunting parties" -- with the Saudi leadership constantly
sweeping the stuff under the rug and obstructing US investigations into it.
Maybe that's not quite as close as OBL's relationship with the Taliban but
it's damn close.
