Dumb Saudi media II

Read what I wrote yesterday about the dumb Saudi media with particular reference to the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law, Al-Arabiyyah.  Today, they have another story: it attributes to--you guessed it--a "source" in the Revolutionary Guards that Hizbullah fighters have gone to Syria to protect Iranian bases.  But what is most amusing about those dumb invented stories is this: why would the Revolutionary Guards select Saudi media to confide in them and give them exclusive--and highly damaging--"information" on Iran?   This is like when Hizbullah fighters confide to the most hostile Western journalists.  This trend is catching.  Tomorrow, a "source" in the Revolutionary Guards "confide" to Al-Arabiyyah that they really really deserve to be bombed by US and Israel.
