Not much time to blog. But Al-Quds Al-Arabi is reporting about a new crisis between AlJazeera and Jordan (unfortunately, this time I had no role in the crisis). Apparently, Ghassan Bin Jiddu interviewed former Crown Prince, Hasan (who was one of the most vicious anti-Palestinian in Jordan and one of the most enthusiastic advocates of normalization with Israel but who since his marginalization by his brother has been posing as an Arab nationalist activist) and Hasan strongly criticized the Saudi government and its role in the region in the interview. The Jordanian intelligence service confiscated the tape just as Bin Jiddu was getting ready to leave the country. I am sure that Rice will once again praise "reform" in Jordan, just as she has praised "reforms" in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. I notice that countries that contribute to the Sunni-Shi`ite conflict are praised by the US for "reform." Don't be surprised if Rice praises Al-Qa`idah for "reform." (thanks Fatima)
