I sent the editor of Arab News an email asking why the perpetrators of this fraud against Princess Haifa have not been charged and imprisoned... They can readily sue the Basnan's here in the US for misappropriating their charitable donation.. That would go far to creating some good will towards American sympathies.. Hawk

>>What Americans fail to realize is that for Saudis, as Muslims, charitable giving is a way of life and that for more prominent and wealthy Saudis it is almost expected of them ? a Saudi equivalent of noblesse oblige. Americans ? perhaps not much given to handing out cash for charity without questions first ? may find that difficult to believe; but believe it they should.<< If this is part of their new public relations campaign, I think they're going to find it mighty counterproductive.
