Definately looks like an interesting read. A friend of mine worked in Saudi Arabia for 5 years for a major US chemical company. He was VP of safety for the company so he dealt with the Saudi government a lot. From what he told me it sounds completely consistant with this article. They buy off all of their problems. They don't really care if they support terrorists as long as they operate outside of SA. That's all they care about.
