| #10 Anyone who expects support from the American diplomatic missions abroad is a damned fool. If you need a new passport, or more pages in your passport, go to the embassy. Otherwise, they're about as useful as a bucket of warm spit. |

| #9 She was definitely a prisoner of a childish liberal fantasy. "I am anti-political" = "I am a naive fool." Why she remains in Saudistan is beyond me, and needs a much more detailed explanation than so far provided. |

| #8 "I was boasting about Riyadh, telling (Neil Bush) it doesn't deserve its bad reputation," she said. "I told him I never experienced any harassment. I'd had no trouble as a woman. It was business as usual." It was business as usual when the lady got busted by the Kingdom's religious police. Why she felt exempt from the dictates of sharia law escapes me. Did she think she was still living in Utah? I'd hesitate to do business with a woman or the company who employed a woman who boasted of Saudi freedoms to Brother Bush or anyone else. That person ain't in touch with reality. |

| #7 You only have freedom in Soodiland if you are a member of the ruling class and are male. Childish liberal fantasy, meet cold hard reality. |

| #6 I imagine it has a lot of freedom if you're from the priveliged, connected, and wealthy classes who can afford bodyguards for any women who might want to leave the compound. |

| #4 Yara's experience reminds me of what happened to Flounder in "Animal House". The frat borrowed his car promising him nothing would happen. When his car was badly damaged, Otter said to him something like, "Hey you f***ed up. You trusted us." |

| #3 Neil Bush has done a good job of staying out of the news. Good for him. I wonder what kind of security he has with him when he hangs out in Saudi Arabia. |
