Interesting article along with the ongoing coverage of the push to declassify the 20 some pages of the 9/11 commission's report. I expect that Saudi Arabia has more to lose economically than the US does, but I also don't think that is the real issue here. Rather there are some really deep and intertwined politics in the middle east and Saudi Arabia is hip deep in them. I wonder what happens if the rest of the region sees the US as no longer willing to back the kingdom.
