The Saudi King of Jordan Corrects Himself. (this will be a permanent feature). As I had told you, the king never says ANYTHING in English that he (or his spokesperson) does not later deny in Arabic. In an interview with the Kuwait daily Ar-Ra'y Al-`Am, he said that his comments in US media were "misinterpreted" against "what we (the royal "we" mind you) intended." Later, in an interview with the Washington Post, he will deny that he denied saying what he said. And after that, he will deny in Arabic (and he is still taking special classes in Arabic) his denial of the denial.
