So it seems that a Saudi Prince has been receiving payments from a quasi-public UK arms firm. Of course, we've been reporting on this developing story on Abdulhadi's World for some time now, but the fact that the BBC is reporting on it again just goes to show you how difficult for these real stains to be washed off. In a later development, the Prince's American lawyers have admitted that he used this money to finance the building and refurbishment of his palace.
In the end, life sucks for the honest: A Saudi Prince will almost certainly get off scott-free for his actions; in the meantime, British mandarins, executives and elected officials might be facing the music because of a deal which was going to benefit the export industry of their country. Look, we all know that the Sterling couldn't keep ridiculous exchange rates without Britain importing something. As an Arab, I say to Britain: We understand and forgive you.

This is totally unrelated, but if you had not heard already, DePaul denied Finkelstein tenure. I will do a short post on it later. I left a comment on JSF and was surprised to find out that Mark Elf had not yet heard the news. So I thought maybe you had not either.
