I am very suspicious when it comes to the Lebanese press. I mentioned yesterday the sudden attention by Ad-Diyar newspaper to human rights and social justice in Kuwait. Today, there is another sensational item about Islamist and Shi`ite opposition in Kuwait. The sudden Arab press attention to conditions in another Arab country usually can mean one of two things: 1) an agenda of a government that funds the newspaper ; 2) it may reflect anger over unpaid bills.
