Old news :

When the U.S. got a tip that Imad Mugniyah, a Lebanese Hezbollah leader accused by the U.S. in connection with a number of terrorist acts against Americans in Beirut and now on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list, would be returning from a conference in Khartoum on an aircraft scheduled to land in Jeddah, the FBI asked to arrest him. The Saudis, aware that sentiment in the Arab world was hardening rapidly against the U.S., didn't say yes and didn't say no. Instead the Saudi government refused permission for the plane to land. Mugniyah got away and I was wondering whether anyone has yet thanked the Saudi government for their cooperation. Mayor Guiliani knew what he was doing when he refused to accept that corrupt and bloodstained $10 million.

Current news :

It was announced in Sweden today that several suspects with known connections to Al Queda cannot be arrested because they have committed no crime. Thanks Sweden for upholding civil liberties and playing by the rules.
