#1 Should've run that "I'm too fat" excuse by them.

#2 If you are "not feeling real sorry for the dear departed.." then I am. And who could tell the world that the so called back-door Sharia decision is right based on the honest decisions, situation and evidence? I am a Canadian citizen who have live in the kingdom for many years. I have witnessed the large number of Human Rights violations made by Saudi Arabian authorities on its expatriates. The world must have forgotten to realize that some of those that were beheaded are people like you who happen to be in the wrong place at a wrong time. I kept a diary of all atrocities made during my years of stay in the kingdom.

#3 The worker, Jenifer Bidoya, also known as Venancio Ladion

Jenifer is a female name, Venancio appears to be male, so I'm a bit confused. Not to mention that, as Henry Fisher points out, often enough foreigners -- and even local Saudis -- are punished on trumped-up charges. The only fact we can be sure of is that someone, probably from the Philippines, was publicly beheaded on Tuesday. Quite probably a Saudi citizen was murdered by someone. Possibly he deserved it, as Filipinos are often hired as house servants, and very often overworked, abused, and the females raped. No doubt Henry remembers a few years ago when several Westerners (one was British, as I recall) were arrested, tortured, and convicted as alcohol runners, although they were innocent as the day. The international outcry was such that the King magnanimously expelled them from the country instead of putting them to death.

#4 She was a maid, obviously using the birth certificate of someone else... and I bet we haven't heard the whole story

#5 I don't trust the Saudis one bit or like them at all, which is a bit unfair but ever since the Twin Towers, SO WHAT.

Not long ago A white robed Saudi with a Red & White checker-board square table cloth on his head sat in my chair at UC hospital.

I had left for a minute and even though the waiting room had lots of nice empty chairs this Saudi moves my pack and sits in my chair.

Well I told him and gestured that he was sitting in my chair so he stood up while I had my hands on his shoulders and 'helped' him move over one seat.

Next he tells me he's a Saudi. I said, "I know". His Saudi handlers then showed up and took him to a private examination room and that was that.
