Saudi ambassador plot

The loyal propagandist for House of Saud, Jihad Al-Khazin (who rose through the Saudi media by serving as a daily press briefer for King Fahd when he spent his summers in Europe in the late 1970s) made a comment on the assassination plot (he said that he would not have believed it if the allegations were made by the Bush administration but that he believes it now because the Obama administration does not lie).  He reminded readers that `Adil Jubayr does not make policy:  he is not Prince Bandar or Prince Turki.  He merely serves the Saudi government and flies twice a week to Saudi Arabia to receive orders.  So if Iran was going to go against an ambassador, would they not have chosen an ambassador/prince?
