Emir of Kuwait

Emir of Kuwait: who fainted* during an Arab League meeting in 1990 after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait when the Iraqi delegate threw a plate at him, has just issued a warning to the Kuwaiti press: there are red lines, he said. I kid you not. I bet you that the Committee to Protect Certain Journalists will not notice.
* He was foreign minister at the time.
