This chapter starts out precisely as the pimping part implies. John had someone he knew would fulfill Prince W's wishes. Blonde, blue eyes, and gorgeous. She was legally married to a pilot who had his own extra activities on the side. We're all adults so let's leave it there. When the time came for the prince to return to Saudi he had one request: Sally becomes his mistress. In Saudi. This was a no go for her. John found out that this was a common practice. A prince or other high-ranking Saudi man would have numerous wives and a mistress at his expense. There were even brokerage firms for this service. A contract will be made between the man and the foreign woman. She lives in Saudi until he tires of her. Then she returns home very wealthy.
During the 1970s this relationship between Riyadh and Washington DC would deepen and eventually come back to bite Americans on the ass. I am talking about 9/11. In 2003 a report from Vanity Fair came out with some details regarding the romance between Riyadh and Washington DC. John wasn't surprised by the relationship. He was surprised it made it to print.
