No, head up @ss is more appropriate here.
How much did they pay her?
BWAAHHHAAAAHAHAAAA!
"Demand how the US, world leader in murder, rape and domestic violence, dare accuse you of human rights abuses. " Where does this woman live?
" Ask how Americans can defend their preferred method of capital punishment by electrocuting women, minors and the mentally handicapped." "Why can a Saudi leave his wallet, laptop and digital camera on the front seat of a car, as I did, and return to find everything intact?"
That's right. We occasionally kill people who kill others, but we don't chop off people's hands if they steal your phone.
What planet is she on?
I notice she doesn't mention anything about the rights or living conditions of foreign workers in SA. Or the rampant rape and abuse of maids.
I'm sure that when we look back at history, our nation's close relationship with Saudi Arabia from the 50's onward will become a point of shame. The sooner we can stop lapping up their oil, the better.
My reaction? Bite me. Whenever I see the bedsheets here in Atlanta I give them the evil eye.
Triple BARF Alert ping! American woman apologist P.R.O.P.-agandizing for the peaceful kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Let her have it!

when not one Arab state has ever threatened America
Hm-m-m-m-m, would financing thugs to fly airplanes into buildings to kill innocent people qualify? If Saudi Arabia is so terrific, go home and stay there.....p-l-e-a-s-e
Here's a bit of another piece she wrote...
http://www.irmep.org/essays/ksa.htm
The US has not had wholly “friendly” intentions towards the Kingdom for the past 30 years. Any appearance of such is only the visible veneer of real US military policy. Declassified documents reveal that there has been a constant drumbeat to invade Saudi Arabia that has sounded behind the closed doors of our government. The Pentagon, for three decades, has formulated and updated secret plans to seize Saudi oil wells and rid the Kingdom of the ruling House of Saud. This is not only a neo-conservative cabal. Time and again plans have been made for an invasion of Saudi Arabia for a larger purpose: US control of the global oil supply thereby dominating global economic markets.
The most recent wave of charges that Saudi Arabia supports, condones, and aids terrorism signify a secondary and more public attempt to gain support to finally execute a thirty year old plan to occupy Saudi Arabia. Other regional players’ objectives, (securing oil supplies; the rationale of a "war on terror") may add synergy and an unstoppable impetus for an American invasion.
This essay discloses and evaluates the motives and actions of those behind the new drive to occupy Saudi oil fields.
Classified Plans Brought To Light
In 1973, the Nixon administration described a plan of attack against Saudi Arabia to seize its oil fields in a classified Joint Intelligence Report entitled “UK Eyes Alpha”. British MI5 and MI6 were informed, and under British National Archive rules the document was declassified in December of 2003. The oil embargo had been over for only three weeks but “Eyes Alpha” suggested that the “US could guarantee sufficient oil supplies for themselves and their allies by taking the oil fields in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Gulf State of Abu Dhabi”. It followed that “pre-emptive” action would be considered, and that two brigades could seize the Saudi oilfields and one brigade each could take Kuwait and Abu Dhabi.
in fact, a search of her byline explains everything:

Consider for a moment that 50% of "insurgents" captured in Iraq are Saudi citizens. Consider that 75% of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis.
Saudi Arabia is a unique instance where the government, as fragile as it is, is with us and their citizenry are genuinely our enemies.
Someone needs to straighten out this sick puppy:

How did she do this since she wasn't allowed to drive? Does Saudi Arabia have that great of a public transportation system?

What's stopping you, sweetheart? I suspect it's those evil western vices that Saudi Arabia or any other Islamic country can't quite seem to work into the cultural diversity that Islam espouses, you know little things like women free to vote, drive, talk with or marry any man they choose, wear their hair the way they want to, show their face, etc...yeah the little things you twit headed hypocrite.
Take this piece, and consider it along with the photograph of the muslim woman in England holding the sign reading "Islam will dominate the world." Then consider mobs that riot over perceived insults. Remember then how the proud muslim military tradition has been allowed to degenerate into the shameful practices of indiscriminate bombings and barbaric murders. Consider as well the Saudi "virtue" police arresting Pakistani Christians for practicing "poison."
Look at this objectively, and what you see is a sizable minority of one of the world's great religions acting out a huge inferiority complex. Islam is about 700 years younger than Christianity, and there are those believers that insist on being about where Christianity was 700 years ago--emerging from the dark ages.
I am sure Saudi Arabia is in fact a Paradise on earth. There is no racism there, I am sure because it is not racist to treat as inferior someone who is in fact, inferior. There is no religious intolerance because there is only one religion, or version of one religion that is worthy of tolerance. And of course, Paradise wouldn't be Paradise without public beheadings.
I am not down on Islam, Muslims or even Saudi Arabians. But as long as they let an irrational and vocal minority make the case for all of them, any cynicism they provoke is deserved.
Ummmm, could someone please remind the author of a minor little event called "Desert Storm" where upon America rescued the Mideast from Saddam's evil intentions?
Where to start . I will not.. Just this ... Go back...
Where was the barf alert?
Hopefully the FBI has her on a watchlist.
It would be silly to list the human rights abuses of the the Saudis. It is silly to talk about their vicious cutting off of the limbs of thieves. The sheer amount of brutality inculcated into Saudi life is simply staggering. It is just a lesson to read the effects of the brainwashing by the abused.
