Political trash in the Huffington Post

"When one meets with King Abdullah it becomes clear very soon that this is a man of honor, piety, integrity and honesty. Ordinary Saudis I have met - worshippers outside a mosque in Taif or businessmen in Jeddah or woman in Riyadh or engineers in Aramco (Saudi Arabia's state oil company) - all echo the same refrain about King Abdullah: he is the anchor of Saudi stability and the driver of true reform in the Kingdom. One such reform with enormous consequences is the King's decision to delegate more responsibility to the next generation of Saudi Arabia's rulers who are Western oriented. Both his sons - Prince Miteb who commands the National Guard and Prince Abdulaziz who is Deputy Foreign Minister -- as well as Prince Mohammed bin Nayef (Deputy Minister of Interior) and Prince Khalid bin Sultan (Deputy Defense Minister) are leaders of the next generation who will carry the torch of reform into the 21st century."  I went to school with this guy and attended classes with them.  Even as a graduate student at Georgetown he was a right-winger and supported the Shah's imaginary government in exile.
