Rashid Ghannushi: the Islamist who is desperate for a role in Tunisia (and who hearts House of Saud)

He never ceases to ingratiate himself with the House of Saud.  Today, he even defended the House of Saud's decision to provide haven for Bin Ali and bizarrely claimed that he is being held as a prisoner in Saudi Arabia.  This Islamist charlatan is desperate for a role to play.   And why is Aljazeera insisting that he be interviewed when he himself admitted in an interview with the mouthpiece of Prince Salman and his sons (Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat) that he and his party has no role in what is happening in Tunisia and that they are "far from" the events.
