#1 Quelle surprise.

Actually it is a surprise - that anybody thought they might.

#3 "Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Uwaisheg, a legal analyst, said that under Saudi law, one cannot exclude a category except based on a written text [Which text? And wouldn't they already be aware of that?]. âExcluding a category cannot be done by a committee,â he pointed out. To him, therefore [?], that means that the decision not to include women in the process is not final [does that mean the decision is not VALID because it isn't based on a written text or not final because they haven't found or aren't aware of written texts? Huh? ]. According to the municipal law, the three categories excluded from voting are: military personnel, municipal employees and a newly added category â women. [Oh yeah, newly added? When?] "

Does this paragraph make any sense to anyone? Reading it is like watching a cat chasing its tail.
