Connect the DOT

From an interesting connect-the-dots read, this post from Daily Kos titled "Is Neil the link between Bush crime cartel and Dubai ports deal?" lays out some of the players. I can easily get lost in following the relationships, so I decided to whip out the freely-available GraphViz/DOT directed-graph tool to make it visually (un)appealing. Click on the thumbnail to see the fully connected network of cartel members.

A net-list governs the components and edges in the layout (shown below); DOT does the rest of the rendering.

digraph BushCo {
  EdRogers -> NewBridge;
  EdRogers -> GeorgeHWBush;
  EdRogers -> Diligence;
  EdRogers -> BGR;
  LannyGriffith -> BGR;
  BGR -> RepublicanParty;
  LannyGriffith -> NewBridge;
  LannyGriffith -> GeorgeHWBush;
  EdMathias -> Carlyle;
  EdMathias -> Diligence;
  DiligenceMiddleEast -> Diligence;
  DiligenceMiddleEast -> NewBridge;
  Diligence -> RichardBurt;
  RichardBurt -> BGR;
  RichardBurt -> Carlyle;
  JoeAllbaugh -> NewBridge;
  JoeAllbaugh -> Diligence;
  JoeAllbaugh -> GeorgeWBush;
  GeorgeHWBush -> Carlyle;
  DubaiHoldings -> DubaiInternationalCapital;
  DubaiHoldings ->  DubaiInvestmentGroup;
  DubaiInternationalCapital -> Carlyle;
  JohnHowland -> NewBridge;
  JamalDaniel -> NewBridge;
  JohnHowland -> NeilBush;
  JamalDaniel -> NeilBush;
  NeilBush -> Crest;
  Crest -> NewBridge;
  NeilBush -> Ignite;
 JamalDaniel -> Ignite;
}

DOT can create huge graphs, and BushCo weaves a tangled web, so I will keep adding linkages until the sucker breaks. I bet monkeygrinder appreciates this one.
