Stratfor and "rumors in Arab media"

STRATFOR issued a bulletin about a "coup in Qatar." It began with "Rumors circulating in the Arab media..." This particular item was started by Elaph: the sleaze Saudi website which has a long history of inventing news and stories. ELAPH for potato's sake. This is the thing about Western media (and possibly governments): they have no idea about the reputations of various Arab media sources so the Saudi sleaze websites are considered respectable. Of course, if it was up to me: I will launch coups in every Arab country.
