I realize I may have been a bit hasty in assuming that Randy "Duke" Cunningham's real estate escapades weren't necessarily tied to statecraft.

It seems that twice last year the Duke visited the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the dime of Ziyad Abduljawad.

Abduljawad is the founder and chairman of PLC Land Company, what The Hill calls, "a multi-million dollar real estate company in Cunningham’s district."
