Not sure - though someone told me the deal had been dead in practice for some time. Looks like Bin Laden is achieving his aims - get the US out of Saudi so the radicals can destabilize the regime, split the western alliances (NATO and the G8 couldn't organize a church picnic now), make terrorism something to idolize in the Arab slums where millions feel powerless, turn western democracies into security states paralyzed by fear.... Clever SOB, I will give him that. Too bad he couldn't focus that cunning on doing something decent for the world instead.
