The prominent Patton Boggs PR firm is distributing a document on Capitol Hill on behalf of its client, Saudi Arabia. The document portrays the Saudis as partners in the "war on terror" and victims themselves of terrorism. According to O'Dwyer's PR Daily, "The Embassy's 'Background FAQ' deals with 'hot button' issues such as 'Saudi Support for Osama bin Laden,' 'Alleged Saudi Funding for Terrorism,' 'Saudi Freezing of Assets,' 'Saudi Education System and Anti-Americanism,' 'Saudi Arabia and Suicide Bombers,' and 'Stability in Saudi Arabia.'"
