Jeff, here is another excerpt from that article: Speaking to reporters Monday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Prince Nayef revealed for the first time that ``more than 100'' Saudis were being detained by the U.S. military and that the kingdom wants its citizens returned home. ``I know about them but we don't know the charges against them except that they were arrested in Afghanistan,'' Nayef said ``The issue of prisoners is important to us and we ask that they be handed over to us so we can interrogate them, since they fall under the kingdom's regulations.'' Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke said that prisoners would be repatriated to ``those countries that we feel will handle them appropriately.'' ``We have no desire to hold on to large numbers of detainees of any kind for any great length of time. But we want to make sure these people are not back out on the streets,'' she said. Nayef said the Saudi government was in touch with the United States and hoped for U.S. cooperation concerning Saudis being held at Guantanamo. <END OF ARTICLE> They fall under the kingdom's regulations? THEY FALL UNDER THE KINGDOM'S REGULATIONS? WTF DOES THAT MEAN???!!! Imagine if a band of Americans went to Saudi Arabia, killed three thousand pilgrims to Mecca, then repeatedly attacked Saudi troops trying to capture them after taking over and brutalizing an entire country, and the Saudis captured them anyways at great risk and cost. And the men continued to express "death to Saudi Arabia" and a desire to continue attacking Saudi Arabians. Would the Saudis turn such men over to America? Fat chance. Actually, BM is not strong enough....this is at least FOAD as the proper response. These people are UFB.
