#5 The State Dept. isn't going to be able to sweep this under the rug for their princely friends... the combination of drug running and direct financing of Al Q. by a senior prince cuts much too close to the bone. As for the interrogations, let the FBI and CIA concentrate on Iraqi and Afghani prisoners for the nonce, and analyzing the bulk of documents the Baathists left behind.

#6 On re-reading this article,it occurs to me that if the Saudis cancel their order with France, and we don't sell them similar stuff, how on earth will the Saudis be able to seal their borders against anti-House of Saud Islamists and violent smugglers?

#7 All the Saudi's dirty deads are starting to come home to roost. The more comes out to the light of day, the worse the Saudis look. Their PR apparatus cannot keep up, and is losing credibility. There will be change in the MK. It will either be gradual and painful or quick and horrific (to some).

#9 Alaska Paul: This is from a subscription service that also published today an article on Sudan aid agencies support for Al Qaeda. Could you find it in your heart to Rantburg this article also? I would be everlastingly thankful.
