#1 I shot this off to the crew. Perhaps those in LalaLand will respond with whatever they know.

I think this will play out fairly quickly. The sides have been lined up for along time - since Fahd became a drooler. Now we see if the pundits know what they're talking about. I find it interesting that they think CP Abdullah will lose. Fahd chose him to be CP, after all, instead of one of his Sudairi bubbas, and he's had almost a decade to consolidate his faction. I never heard anything to indicate that the Royals, as a group, thought he had done badly, either. The rest of the Arabs there might disagree, but they have no say, of course.

Oh well. we shall see. Play on!

#2 The first email to come back said that there is nothing bouncing around the halls, yet. All quiet, as of few hours ago.

#4 a diminishment in the number of princelings (multiple drives into the desert) would be a good thing. Start with Naif - worthless POS

#8 It's all quite confusing. One day he and Zarq are dead, the next day they are not.

#9 One thing is certain. If he is dead; he ain't tellin' anybody.

#12 I've gotten 2 emails - both say there's not a peep about this on the grapevine. I can say that the rumor mills there run pretty much full-tilt all the time, too. Perhaps there isn't anything [new] to see here.
