Thanks for the link. There's a lot of good information in the article. This part caught my attention: <<<The lengths to which the Saudi regime will go to prevent critical information from reaching its subjects were underscored in January of 1996 when Saudi officials tried to get Britain to deport Mohammed al-Mas'ari, whose Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights has been faxing critical reports about the Riyadh government to contacts within Saudi Arabia from its offices in London. The none to subtle message conveyed to Conservative Prime Minister John Major's government was that if Mas'ari was allowed to continue operating from Britain, Britain's future arms sales and other commercial contracts with Saudi Arabia might suffer.>>> Of course former Prime Minister John Major is the current Chairman of Carlyle Europe. Kind of funny how sometimes you turn over a rock and there's nothing there, and other times there are all sorts of interesting critters wriggling around.
