King Salman, Saudi Arabias newly crowned monarch, has a controversial history of helping to fund radical terror groups and has maintained ties with several anti-Semitic Muslim clerics known for advocating radical positions, according to reports and regional experts.
Salman, previously the countrys defense minister and deputy prime minister, was crowned king last week after his half-brother King Abdullah died at the age of 90.
While Abdullah served as a close U.S. ally and was considered a reformer by many, Saudi Arabia has long been criticized by human rights activists for its treatment of women and its enforcement of a strict interpretation of Islamic law.

You don't say. Now, that's a hard hitting news scoop. In journalism school that's called recycled news.

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Retake Arab 101. Of course he funded terrorists. And anti-terrorists. And maybe a few groups in between; exactly as Obama has done in the "Arab Spring."
The difference: Abdullah is loyal to his family and country, which are the same thing, and unlike Reggie's boyfriend, knows what the hell he is doing.
