A new Arab think tank
It was announced that a new Arab think tank was founded in Kuwait by "an elite group of politicians and academic thinkers." I kid you not. That is what the official announcement said. So who are those thinkers? They are: Fu'ad Sanyurah, Iyad `Allawi (former Iraqi puppet prime minister/former Saddam henchman/embezzler-in-Yemen/car bomber), and `Abdur-Rahman Ar-Rashid (former editor of Prince Salman's mouthpiece, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat and current director of King Fahd's brother-in-law's TV station, Al-Arabiyya). The first production of the think tank will be a collection of pictures of the Saudi king. (thanks Mirvat)
