#1 This update explains a lot:
Suspected terrorists who had been planning attacks in Saudi Arabia targeted the royal family as well as American and British interests, and received orders directly from Osama bin Laden, a senior security official said Thursday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the prime targets were the defense minister, Prince Sultan, and his brother, the interior minister, Prince Nayef.
Planning a hit on royals will get you a lot of attention in Saudiland.

#4 Right, Steve. Saudi is by far the strangest piece of real estate on the earth (that I've lived in) The Magic Kingdom. I never met any expat involved in selling alcohol willing a Saudi neck massage. They'd just stop making it if a party got too out of hand or if they got dressed down by their boss. Bomb a car? Knew it was bogus.

I wonder if Atom Ant (aka, whatzisname, Adel Al-Jubeir, right?) will be on "Meet the Press" TV soon.
