What would be most interesting to know is exactly how much the Saudi's give to all charities each year...individually per charity and per individual. $3500 is a drop in the bucket for most of the Saudi's..... Look at Asprey's in London for instance....get their catalog..... (www.aspreys.com) Things here are so expensive, I'm told by a reliable source or two...<g>, that St. Louis crystal at $180/stem is dimestore stuff in comparison to what is in Aspreys. Many Saudi's shop at Aspreys.

A response from the Editor of Arab News.com with regard to my urging that this fraudulent act on the part of the recipients of this "charitable" aid from Princess Haifa be strongly prosecuted under Sharia (since the funds were not used for what they were intended): Dear Mr. XXXXXXX: There is no proof of any criminal act. Mr. Basnan's interview already appeared in Arab News. He is not a culprit and walked in our office freely. Princess Haifa herself is above reproach not because she is a princess but is a noble woman with sterling qualities. Respectfully, Khaled Al-Maeena
