Well, then, the ball is in the Saudis' court to frustrate his plan by offering 110% cooperation in the effort to find and neutralize terrorists.
Their agents were working with our guys to track down Padilla and the people he contacted in the mideast.
I have thought for a very long time that the Saudis were being targeted (like the Shah of Iran and Serbians were) in a propaganda campaign to turn popular opinion against them. It has now become completely impossible to find any journalist or publication in this country or Europe defending them.
