History of Saudi hosting of deposed dictators

The mouthpiece of Prince Salman and his sons (Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat) brags about the history of Saudi hosting of deposed dictators.  It said that the Saudi government hosted Bin `Ali because the country is generous and hospitable--I kid you not.  Clearly, the House of Saud is very embarrassed about the hosting because it is leading to many Arab public denunciations.  There were calls for demonstrations at Saudi embassies around the Arab world.  One Saudi propagandist, Jamal Khashuqji (who now poses as a "liberal"--a Wahhabi liberal--was a hard core Bin Ladenite who actually joined Bin Laden's "struggle" in Afghanistan) appeared on Aljazeera and said that while it is true that Bin `Ali was invited to the Kingdom, he was a prisoner there.  His flat out lies are contradicted with this report in the website of Al-Arabiyyah (the private station of King Fahd's brother-in-law and now run by Prince `Azzuz who spent millions on winning the heart of Yasmeen Bleeth when he was obsessed with her--for long years) which said that Bin `Ali is staying at the Palace of Guests.
