The man who is really running Jordan

A colleague sent me this (he/she does not want to be identified):
"Rob Richer (you can read all about him on the web and on wikipedia) has been the main man running Jordan and calling all the shots for some time now, and certainly since the Arab uprisings started. He is right there with king Abdullah —changing cabinets, issuing laws, and determining what the Mukhabarat should or should not do and giving orders to the security apparatus.
Most of the Jordanian elite know his name, which has been circulating among them for months now."
