They believe they are in Saudi Arabia

That's interesting. I wonder why that is. Perhaps we think it's pyschologically important.

exactly right. according to Posner, when Zubayda believed he was in Saudi Arabia, instead of being afraid, he said "great, call this prince, he knows all about me". I believe this turned out to be one of the princes who was mysteriously found dead. So keeping these guys bottled up is essential, you wonder how tight the security must be around them such that no one who has contact with them would tell them where they are?
