#3 Yemen must some weird place. Here in Saudi I'm USED to two (or three) faced behavior by these paragons of the Religion of Peace, but Yemen is truly one schizo environ, methinks.

Of course, he COULD be a "throw away" - someone they can give up cuz he's served his purpose or became unreliable - or whatever. I hate to be a cynic, but it's pretty hard to make sense out of what happens down there at the far end of the litterbox.

#5 RW- I recalled a story a few years ago that qat is a big drug in Iraq too. It is only potent when the leaves are fresh, and it gets (got) flown in daily from some African country.
