Saudi authorities carried out a new wave of arrests targeting royals and former cabinet ministers, people familiar with the matter said, a move that appears intended to further consolidate power in the hands of the Saudi leadership at a time of political transition.
At least 10 princes and more than two dozen former ministers were detained by Saudi authorities on Saturday night, according to people familiar with the matter. It was unclear if charges were filed.

After 9-11 we should have overrun Saudi Arabia, placing a Saudi woman as viceroy operating under a new constitution written by us.
The viceroy would have needed mercenary troops to quell dissent...she could have use oil revenue.
Allow only women to vote for 30 years.
Change name to Arabia.
Turn Mecca/Medina into open cities under Jordanian control.
The system in SA makes me puke.

Last time something like this happened they took them over the desert in a plane and kicked them out sans parachutes- But I think it`s omitted on the web -I couldn`t find it but I recall it happening.
