#1 her stepson Justin, 28, as the eldest male in the family, gave clemency to the men.

Sounds like Justin may have a clue.

#2 Now you know why it's called the Magic Kingdom. My experience there reflects al-Hejailan's opinion. Expats will get out of the business damn quick if there's a whiff that their operation is under pressure. Usually something where the boss will call in the moonshiner, tell him he can keep his job but will have to stop making the stuff. Otherwise, here's you exit-only visa. The moonshiner will comply.

But bombing a rival? Who are these guys? Capone wannabe's? Come on. I knew it was a bogus charge when I first heard about it. No way an expat could even get explosives.

Now, to move onto another subject, you can see why Chalabi's daughter's piece in the WSJ yesterday, in which she said her father's "troubles" with Jordanian authorities were due to Saddam's pressure, has legitimacy. Probably bogus charges, as well there.

#3 Hopefully a few of those daughters of American moms and Saudi fathers will get Visa's and permission to leave Saudi Arabia soon as the kingdom tries to clean up their image.

#4 Damn right, Yank. Maybe the Fahd Center for Understanding or whatever the hell it's called can make this topic part of the agenda.

#5 OK Republican apologists for this bunch of cretins we've been upholding--what say you now? I bet if the same # of Saudis would have been arrested on Visa vioaltions there would have been an exchange real quick! MR Putin?
