I say that would depend on the administration.

Re diplomacy with SA, my impression has been that Bush, Powell, Cheney, Rummy are straining to continue to say positive things about SA, believing that it is more important to maintain positive speaking terms, the better to deal with obstacles later when it may be more crucial. Right now we don't know exactly what we are getting from SA.

Look at it this way - President Bush has had nothing but praise for the way Saudi Arabia has conducted itself. Who is more likely to be telling the truth, a journalist stretching for something to write about, or the President of the United States?

Hm, a journalist being leaked to by high Administration sources, or a President trying to preserve a diplomatic fig leaf? I think I go with the journalist...
