You know those al-Qa’eda folks the Saudis claimed to have captured earlier in the week (Huzzah for our Saudi allies!)? The ones who claimed to have flubbed a shoulder-mounted SAM firing at US aircraft taking off from a Saudi base (Huzzah for our Saudi allies!)? The first al-Qa’eda folks to be arrested by the Saudis since 15 Saudi al-Qa’eda members participated in the 9-11 attacks (Huzzah for our finally-getting-off-their-butts Saudi allies!)?
Saudi Arabia has announced it will not let anyone, including the US, question them.
Expect confessions, followed by summary beheadings, as has happened with previous apprehended terrorists with connections to attacks on US citizens and installations. Whatever other information they may have will go with them to their graves.
Yeah. Some allies.
“Whatever other information they may have will go with them to their graves.”
As well as any idea that they are, indeed, what the Saudi’s claim they are… and not just some sorry fellows that were inconveniencing that august state.
Exactly.
Though, ahem, it’s a bit more difficult for the US to be self-righteous about Due Process these days …
