The fruits of Bush's Doctrine--or what Sa'ib `Urayqat calls "the vision of president Bush": "The official Saudi Press Agency says authorities have beheaded a Yemeni man convicted of fatally stabbing a Saudi citizen during a dispute. Quoting an Interior Ministry statement, the SPA says Fuad al-Akhram was beheaded Wednesday in the holy city of Mecca....Wednesday's execution brings to 35 the number of beheadings in the kingdom this year, according to an Associated Press count. Saudi Arabia beheaded 137 people last year, up sharply from the 38 executed in 2006." (thanks As`ad--not me)
