My own speculation is that the Saudis knew where this guy was all along. Shortly after Johnson was killed, Bush was on the horn to Crown Prince Abdullah, and probably told him he better have the guy dead by midnight, or there would be hell to pay.

well if that's true (I don't think it is), it doesn't say much about Bush. He only called Abdullah AFTER Johnson was killed and told him to close in?

the Saudis are playing us - they giveth with one hand, and taketh away with the another. they know we are powerless to do anything about it.

This guy, Abdulaziz Issa Abdul-Mohsin al-Moqrin, is the same guy who claimed responsibility for Khobar. Your speculation doesn't add up.

Why would Bush wait until the man got his head chopped off to get on the horn?

Story now is that someone saw the body being dumped and called in the license plate number.
