Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the United States, Prince Turki Al-Faisal, met with Romney in February 2006. While some would argue that Romney has been trying to burnish his presidential credentials, his aides insist that's not the case. ''There hasn't been an uptick in these meetings, it's something he's done all along," said Corbie Kiernan, a spokeswoman for the governor. ''But I can't opine on whether or not it's boosting his foreign-relations credentials."
