| [HODHODYEMENNEWS] The US Department of State confirmed that a US citizen Carly Morris was detained by authorities in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , but did not say whether any American had been able to meet her yet. "Our embassy in Riyadh is very engaged on this case, and they’re following the situation very closely," State Department front man Ned Price said on Tuesday. "We were aware of the reports that Ms Morris has been detained," he added. He stressed, "Whenever a person is detained abroad, we seek immediate access to visit the individual, to aid him or her with all appropriate consular assistance. Our embassy in Riyadh is very engaged on this case; they’re following the situation very closely." |

| #3 I worked in Saudi for 2 years. You just don't criticize them. It is an absolute monarchy with no bill of rights or anything similar. Carly should be grateful that she didn't get the Britney Greiner treatment. When you go to another country, know what its laws are; and for Pete's sake obey them while you're there. |

| #1 Ah. An obvious spy. Typically when Americans are detained abroad, the State Department washes their hands of them. They aren't "very engaged" and they don't "follow closely". They hand you a list of local lawyers that is probably out of date and tell you to stop bothering them. |
