Latest debka headlines. Crown Prince Abdullah's remarks are important, I think:

In landmark remark carried by official news agency Thursday, the de facto Saudi ruler declared “He who protects or sympathizes with a terrorist is himself a terrorist and will be punished. There is no room for neutrality.”

Sidar wanted for last year’s attacks on Worshippers’ Alley in which 12 Israelis died. Mofaz tells US envoy Wolf Jihad commander was still ticking bomb

US undersecretary Burns flew from Israel to Damascus Wednesday with fresh demands on rising Lebanese-Israeli border tensions and continued Palestinian terror activity from Syria

US and Britain warn nationals to defer travel to Saudi Arabia where terror threats to aviation and other interests. Americans and Australians visiting Indonesia advised to avoid tourist centers in Jakarta where Marriott Hotel blast killed 12 last week.

Leon calls israel thieves but justifies and accepts chinese repression of tibet which occurs in the same time frame as israel/pal. Damn right I am upset. And i dont get why you can't see it. To you Leon is just another liberal who agrees with you on many issues. To me you and he are totally different. He exhibits hate toward only one nation--perhaps two if I am right about his view of the US. But china gets a pass on tibet. mike
