...last eight paragraphs of the book set up a final startling development. Those three Saudi princes all perished within days of one another. On July 22, 2002, Prince Ahmed was felled by a heart attack at age 43. One day later Prince Sultan bin Faisal bin Turki al-Saud, 41, was killed in what was called a high-speed car accident. The last member of the trio, Prince Fahd bin Turki bin Saud al-Kabir, officially "died of thirst" while traveling east of Riyadh one week later.

...Saudi Arabia has long advocated and indeed promoted the most extreme form of Islamic practices. And for the house of Saud to fein shock and disbelief that their own citizens were part of the Sept. 11 attack on this country is downright shameless on their part.

...most prominent, if unlikely, advocate of substantial change in the Arab world is Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud. Although he has been dabbling with change since becoming the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia several years ago, the Iraq crisis has made him a man in a hurry. Last January, the Saudis sent Abdullah's reform proposal to the Arab League. It called for "political participation," "building Arab capabilities," "an Arab common market" and "a comprehensive Arab awakening." He proposed that states be jettisoned from the Arab League if they didn't adopt principles of reform, democracy...
