RIYADH, Saudi Arabia— A Saudi court on Saturday sentenced a female journalist to 60 lashes after she had been charged with involvement in a TV show in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex.
Rozanna al-Yami, 22, is believed to be the first Saudi woman journalist to be given such a punishment, but there were conflicting accounts about how the court issued its verdict.
Al-Yami, who worked as a coordinator for the program but has denied working on the sex-show episode, told The Associated Press it was her understanding that the judge at the court in the western city of Jiddah dropped the charges against her. They included involvement in the preparation of the show and advertising the segment on the Internet.

Not for nothing..........
....but after 9/11, Bush should have taken on Saudi and Egypt the countries that supplied Bin Laden with the terrorists and the countries who looked the other way when there was terrorist activity on their soil which led to 9/11..
Too bad female journalists can’t be sentenced to lashes here. I’d pay to see somebody whip Maddow or Garafolo.
American journalists should be made to watch this woman get lashed by terrorist wackos so they understand who the true enemies of America are. Many American journalists think Conservatives and veterans are the enemy. How twisted and perverted is that?
And, while we’re listing enemies of America, I think there are many in the current Administration and US Congress that could be classified as such.

Oh well, at least they are not whipping Gays.

I mean look at them....a bull dyke and a cootie skank.
A bit kinky......but I like it.
Sounds like a very kinky S & M type punishment by the King.
Is the King also into bondage?
Islam is a religion of peace. Are you feeling the peace?
Just when the twelfth imam was about ready to come out of the well and this has to happen....
Unfortunately, it would be Coulter, Malkin, and Ingram who got the lashes here. Its who goes AGAINST the establishment that gets punished......
Paging Joe Francis,paging Joe Francis
Can you imagine how painful even one lash would be ripping the skin off your back?
This culture is barbaric. We should use all non-violent means to isolate them for these crimes against women and non-muslims.
“there have been increased discussions of reform in Saudi Arabia. However, attacks against Christians and human rights abuses have in fact been on the rise since King Abdullah came into power. The country continues to have one of the worst human rights records in the world, with flagrant abuses against religions other than Sunni Islam. Saudi citizens are denied the freedom to choose or change their religion. Any person involved in evangelism, including the distribution of literature, faces jail, expulsion or execution. Often false charges, such as drug-related allegations, are used against evangelists. Even foreign visitors are not allowed to gather together for religious worship.”
