#1 'Another Saudi daily, al-Watan, quoted a cousin of Jihani as saying he had been fired from the Authority for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice five years ago for "misconduct".'

#5 Or maybe he was one the dumb morality police who stopped firemen from rescueing schoolgirls at a burning school because their heads weren't covered. Saudi has the trash of the earth.

#6 "Has come under unprecedented scrutiny" Yeah, not enough of them use henna in their beards. Not enough of them have their pajama pants and/or thobe cut high enough.
Unprecedented scrutiny, but answerable only to Fahd? Well, I guess, we'll have to investigate Fahd's relations to the Morality cops. Questioning will immediately follow Fahad's recovery from the stroke that afflicted him in the '90's. Right guys? Thank you Reuters for the insights.
