Saudi Arabia's outgoing ambassador to Britain, Prince Turki al-Faisal, complained how he was left "going round in circles" as he tried to warn British officials about Saudi dissidents in Britain. "When you call somebody (in the government), he says it is the other guy (who deals with the issue)," he told the Times newspaper. "We have been in this runaround for the last two and a half years." Turki's grievances centred on two dissidents -- Saad Faqih, accused by the United Sates in the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, and Mohammad al-Masari, who runs a jihadi website from his north London home. Another former Saudi dissident is Omar Bakri Mohammed, a Syrian-born imam notorious for his hardline Islamist views. He left for Lebanon at the weekend, and there is growing speculation that the government might ban his return. Bakri was quoted in the Evening Standard newspaper Wednesday as saying he expects to undergo a heart operation in November or December in London, paid for by Britain's free-care-for-all National Health Service. news.yahoo.com

The smear was that she changed her mind. Since when did that become a crime or an offense or something undesirable? Just because Dumbya and his fans choose to remain stupid, it doesn't mean others can't educate themselves.

Air Force officer keys cars with Bush stickers WorldNetDaily.com ^ \| 8/10/05 \| WorldNetDaily An officer in the U.S. Air Force is in hot water after admitting to vandalizing cars with pro-Bush bumper stickers at Denver International Airport. Lt. Col. Alexis Fecteau, 42, is director of reserve operations at the National Security Space Institute in Colorado Springs, and turned himself into authorities after being caught in a sting operation, where detectives used a bait car to attract the vandal. "It was pretty good police work," Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson told KUSA-TV. "You still have a right to express yourself in this country and you shouldn't have your car vandalized because of it." Authorities say Fecteau is responsible for damaging at least 12 cars in the airport's parking lot, using keys or a key holder to scratch the finish, or a spray-paint can to leave his own political message, including one that stated, "F--- Bush." That obscene message was left on the vehicle of Jeremy Kinney of Denver, who attended Yale University with Bush in the 1960s, and has remained friends with the president. "You feel violated in a sense when something like this happens, but it was more disappointment than anger," Kinney told the station. "It just reinforced to me the lack of political discourse that takes place in this country, polite political discourse. There is so much anger in politics that I find it not only counterproductive but annoying and disappointing." Inside Fecteau's 2001 Ford Excursion, police found paint, paint thinner, and a tube of Park Tube Polylube, a grease used for bicycle repairs. Fecteau faces a single count of felony criminal mischief and at least five other misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief. He's free after posting a $5,000 bond and is slated to return to court later this month. An Air Force spokesman said the service has not taken any action against Fecteau, as it allows the legal process to continue through local law enforcement.
