Sooner or later, hopefully sooner, we will have to decide whether the House of Saud is friend or foe.

Why would any British executive stay in Saudi Arabia? Money is no good when your head is sliced off.

As dominant oil producer, Saudi Arabia is vital to the West. However, its involvement in Islamist terrorism is now well- documented. Osama bin Laden himself, most of al-Qa'eda's recruits and funding all come from Saudi Arabia. Islamist militants throughout the Middle East receive Saudi money....

....Something is rotten in the Kingdom of Saud, and the British must wake up to it fast.

If something is rotten in the Kingdom of Saud then why not specifically spell it out with evidence. The above first paragraph doesn't do that. So what if they all came from Saudi Arabia. OBL was kicked out of Saudi Arabia. And if you have a hot money trail connecting the ruling government of Saudi Arabia to 911 and other terrorist activity -- then let's see it in the freeping article. Is that too much to ask?

Did the Saudis really have the nerve to call this hit another "alcohol smuggling" related act?

Incredible. They are really spitting in Blair's eye.
