IMO the Princes have been paying blackmail to keep OBL and his people from attacking them or their possessions.

It's a mistake, I think, to speak of "the princes" as if they were any sort of coherent group. It may not be within Abdullah's power to keep money from going to AQ, or to mount a significant crackdown.

We'll see.
