#1 This may be the key to revising Wahabism into something more akin to the rest of Islam. If so, it's a good thing. If not, it's a good thing, because the different groups may become so involved with one another, they'll ignore the rest of us.

#4 Good point, AP. The way you attack a crime family is from bottom to top. Pick off the soldiers, find out what they know, and work your way up the ladder. How fast do they want to climb the ladder to where we all know it's going to end up? That's the 64 dollar question.

#5 My off-the-cuff idea on what the Saudi g-men are doing right now is that they are going after the gunnies and boomers, and maybe some of the lower leadership. tu3031 brings up ye olde "follow the money" bit of wisdom. That, of course, leads to members of that very large bunch of overfed and under worked members of the Saudi royal family. I am sure that many g-men see where they have to go. I am not so sure that the top leadership is ready to bang heads of the royal family yet, though that is where they (AND WE) need to go to get their (AND OUR) terrorism issues solved.
