Printing the blood libel in the main government daily while sponsoring a "peace plan" for "full normalization" with Israel is remarkably two-faced, even by Saudi standards. Of course, why should they change what they normally print just because Prince Abdullah is pursuing a new diplomatic initiative?

I'm not sure what got this one noticed. I think the good offices of memri.org for providing quick and trustworthy translations should not be discounted. All the conservative blogsites picked it up, and some mainstream media followed. I think the willingness of the US press to ignore the Saudi press has been definitely diminished since September 11th. Even so, I was surprised that State officially noticed this story and complained.
