Stories of "Gentle" Usamah on Saudi TV. AlArabiya TV invited a childhood friend and neighbor (and a House of Saud reporter who is now editor-in-chief of Al-Madinah newspaper) to talk about his memories of Usamah bin Laden. He told the House of Saud station that he was "gentle" and really avoided problems. Have you noticed that Saudi royals also seem to say nice things about Bin Laden to this very day?
