Politics: Brothers in Aren't
As explained in this post about an excellent LA Times commentary, the Saudi Royal Family hired Vinnell Corporation to teach its National Guard how to defend the family from internal threats (read: Islamic fundamentalists). Vinnell has done that job since 1975, including brutally suppressing a rebellion in 1979. Twice, including the Riyadh bombing last week, Vinnell has been the target of action by Islamic extremists. Now it is revealed that the very National Guard they were training may have had members working with al Queda prior to and as part of the same operation as the bombing last week.
I'm sure the boys at Vinnell (a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman, natch) know how to take a hint. The hint is, trust nobody.
