Wasn't there a report that those convicted were executed without giving representatives of the U.S. the opportunity to talk to them? Or am I thinking of something different?

[Nogbad]

I am not sure if they have been executed,
I don't think we even know what has happened to them.
However their names have not even been released,
much less have they been given a chance to talk.

Apparently Egypt has been cooperating well with the USA
and has released information that has forced the Saudis
to admit to what little has been made known.

I believe 2 incidents are being juxtaposed.

The Khobar Towers perps were executed after one of them gave a video confession broadcast on Saudi TV and an exceprt of it here on US channels. We were not allowed access to ANY of them, EVER.

Recent al-qaeda suspects are not going to be interrogated by US officers, according to the arabislamic press. arabnews.com had an article on its site.
