There are 3 to 4 thousand princes? Hmmmmm, let me restate that: Okay, TP, if even a quarter of the princes of the Saudi royal family are dead or disappeared in six months, I'll publicly cede your theory that Rumsfeld has just publicly called for their assasination. How's that?

These royal deaths remind me of the shark attacks last year and the abductions this year. There are always going to be some. Putting them on the news does not an epidemic or a conspiracy make. I saw the other day that about 100 girls are abducted and killed each year. That's two a week. We're not deviating from that significantly right now. From a statistical perspective, there's nothing weird about three princes dying in a week. What's weird is reporting it like it is.
