Saudi Arabia Supports Our Enemies, And Attacks Our Allies
That's a direct quote from a report released on Monday by the Rand Corporation. As the Opinion Journal's Best of the Web describes it:
The briefing was prepared by Laurent Murawiec, a Rand Corp. analysis. It's two steps removed from being actual administration policy--it's the advice of an outside adviser to an outside advisory board. But it does suggest that the administration at least has its eyes open about the Saudis. Ricks says the briefing "represents a point of view that has growing currency within the Bush administration--especially on the staff of Vice President Cheney and in the Pentagon's civilian leadership--and among neoconservative writers and thinkers closely allied with administration policymakers."
Well balanced article. Unusual for the Washington Post.
