I'd call it a reasonable diplomatic move, in which Suthers appears to have done very well. I know how galling that must be to a keyboard kommando like yourself.

That's exactly the kind of diplomacy I depise. I have no interest in America having to grovel before the feet of the nation that supplied 15 of the 19 hijackers that brought us 9/11.

Thanks for sharing that article. Clears things up a bit.

This quote in the article says a lot about the differences between US and Saudi culture.

"One of the brothers of the defendant that I had met sat through the trial and they simply cannot understand that a jury can give credibility to an Indonesian maid," Suthers said. "And the only possible explanation that is some sort of anti-Muslim bias."

Sad that Suthers had to explain to these people that, in the US, even lowly, dirty, foreign maids have a natural right not to be enslaved and raped.
