Condoleezza Rice received at least $316,000 in jewelry from the kings of Jordan and Saudi Arabia, making her one of the top recipients among U.S. officials of gifts from foreign heads of state and government and their aides in 2007. Rice will not be able to enjoy the gifts as they have been turned over to the General Services Administration and government archives in accordance with federal law, which bars officials from accepting personal presents in almost all circumstances.
the term "accountability" comes to mind ... as in see how it exists in the US ... but not in the arab world ...
