#1 Jedawel: When I lived there, it was owned by King Fat-Head's youngest son, who is now minister-without-portfolio.

Saudi F-15 mechanics? In the day F-15's were in Taif (west), Khamis Mushayt (Southwest) and Dhaharan (east). Does this mean RSAF has repositioned its aircraft?

General drift of article is that, while the Magic Kingdom was always weird, confusing, and superficial, if one knew the right people, one could have a great time. Present situation reminds me of a Who song, "The Good's Gone" Too many immams trained at the Jihad university, Imam Mohamed bin somebody University. Always was a center for strict Wahibists who, in the good days, just drove around and made themselves nuisances as the Religious Police; the more active ones went to Bosnia, Chechnya, Pakistan, Afghanistan. Today they've traded in their sticks for plastique and machine guns. The roosters have come home to roost.
