Fascinating, Glenn. Thanks for posting it. I assumed the coal interests would be the answer. And somewhere in the background, perhaps, oil interests. But that one nailed down the specific link.

While Qatar has been a strategic U.S. ally in the Middle East, the State Department's annual reports on the country's human rights have taken the country to task for withholding political freedom from its citizens and basic civil rights from its foreign workers. Noncitizens make up 75% of Qatar's population of 840,290.

My friend who lives in Qatar says 89% of Qatar's population is foreign workers.
