Write to the Saudi Ambassador and convey your thoughts on the matter.

Actually, I'm kinda surprised Americans haven't been picketing the Saudi Embassy down by the Watergate hotel..

Maybe we can get the guys from freerepublic.com to join in... They did a bang up job on Al Gore... :0)

Spend a hard day shouting denigrating comments about Saudi intransigence in this investigation, and then retire for a nice dinner at the Watergate's Aquarelle Restaurant, and gather at Cupa Cupa for coffee afterwards and hope to see Alan Greenspan or Bob Dole, who both live there and sometimes come down for coffee..

How decadent!!

I wouldn't call it a coordinated media campaign(unless the DOD is deliberately conducting foreign policy through the media). More likely a natural result of increased scrutiny from diverse sources. Guess they aren't used to seeing some of their dirty laundry waving in the breeze. OTOH, our relationship with them is complex and they are getting squeezed from both sides.

Hey, a double ought.
