Horrible, just horrible - flogging a woman for producing a show where somebody talks about sex. Its mind boggling. Also very interesting to remember that this place is George Bush's second home.
If these barbarians didn't have OIL we wouldn't even speak with them let alone be hugging these thugs. Both parties are to nice to this so called Kingdom.
