I'll believe Glenn Beck when I hear the details of his "story." Personally, I find it very suspicious that a media personality like Beck would throw a statement like that out there on Friday and tell his audience to tune in again next week to get all the details.

If he really knew something, why didn't he just put it out there on Friday? Probably because he wants to get a whole week of attention out of it rather than just one day.

Beck is a bit of a drama queen, for sure. Its the nature of a lot of TV personalities. However, IMO the story would be more effective if released on Monday for several reasons: (1) news released on a Friday tends to have low impact (politicians are well aware of this phenomena); (2) most of the focus right now is still on the two brotheres; (3) Beck can continue to substantiate the story; and (4) the Saudi might be wisked out of country on Tuesday. A Friday release would also have given the administration time to better manage the situation. But they can’t do that now because they don’t know what Beck has.

It might not amount to much but Beck is putting his credibility on the line big time with this one. We’ll have to see how it plays out and whether or not it “has legs”. If it does, it will be worth the wait.
