Hi Lawry, Your description of the British who are in jail caught me by surprise; I hadn't realized that they had been there so long or under the conditions you describe. There is an incongruence here; it has not been a Saudi pattern to treat foreigners the way you describe, and so I am

Keith, While the scenarios you mention may all occur, I feel that you are imputing too much logic to the Bush contingent. My guess is that they are simply trying to put the squeeze on Sa'ud and trying to help out a few Congress people for the November elections. I bet you will see a change in
