Saudi Religious Police - whose main responsibility it is to ensure ‘proper’ behavior from citizens by oppressing them and, if deemed necessary, using force against them - have overstepped the boundaries (I didn’t know they existed either) of what’s deemed proper for them recently. In the last few days, religious Police have chased civilians in cars resulting in more than one major car crash. In one such crash three vehicles were involved, in another eight. ©2008 PoliGazette .

On Saturday evening, Tunisian Web journalist Slim Boukhidir was heading to a local Internet cafe in the city of Sfax when he was stopped by a group of men and stuffed into a French-made automobile. He was taken first to a Police station and then he found himself back in the car and heading outside of the city and into the rural hinterlands. The car stopped and the journalist, who was freed last July after spending eight months in prison for publicly criticizing President Zine el Abidine ben Ali, was released without harm. But not without a warning, according to an account he gave to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists: After leaving the Police station, they started insulting me and threatened to inflict on me the same fate of Libyan Internet journalist Daif Al Ghazal, kidnapped and killed in neighboring Libya in 2005. The U.S. gets all hot and bothered about human rights abuses and suppression of speech in places such as Iran or Syria. But it has remained relatively silent about an apparent uptick in repression of journalists among its allies in the Arab world, like the staunchly pro-American Tunisia or Saudi Arabia.On Saturday, a top cleric in Saudi Arabia issued a fatwa, or religious edict, declaring that all writers who challenge religious leaders should be fired from their jobs, flogged and jailed, according to a news release issued by the CPJ. Sheik Abdallah Ben Jabreen issued his edict on a privately owned S ... Source: www.salon.com --- 2 days ago
Someone needs to make a movie about Jacquie Davis and Helen Cliffe , like, yesterday. The story of two old friends who happen to be female bodyguards is intriguing enough right there, but better still, they're wisecracking female bodyguards! Take single mother Cliffe on her work-life balance: "It's far more stressful than being shot at, sorting out the childcare." Or former Police officer Davis on working for the Saudi royal family: "It's the same thing every year: you have to be vetted by a guy from the Saudi embassy saying, 'Oh, my God, you are a woman!' At which point you have to throw one of his blokes on the floor and stamp on his windpipe to prove you can do the job." The story's got heart-pumping adrenaline and madcap comedy. Not only has Davis "been stabbed in the leg, thrown through a shop window and shot at by Kashmiri snipers," she's had to baby-sit a 10-year-old princess who requested "a kitten, a puppy, a baby to play with, and a tiger." (Davis: "I said I couldn't get a baby and all hell broke loose.") And awesomely, Cliffe already talks like an action-movie heavy. When delinquent teenagers were causing trouble in the neighborhood where she and Davis both live, she says, "We went out and told them their future. And now there are no problems." Heh. Finally, there's the irresistible Jane Bond-like aspect to their work. Unlike, say, Moammar Gadhafi's Kalashnikov-toting "badass bunch of Lara Croft clones," whom Lynn H ...

Photo Illustration: Geoffrey Bennett, NPR As Oprah Winfrey's trademarked brand of female empowerment beams into living rooms and hair salons across the U.S., her show is also resonating with women in Saudi Arabia, as reported by Katherine Zoepf of The New York Times. When "The Oprah Winfrey Show" was first broadcast in Saudi Arabia in November 2004 on a Dubai-based satellite channel, it became an immediate sensation among young Saudi women. Within months, it had become the highest-rated English-language program among women 25 and younger, an age group that makes up about a third of Saudi Arabia's population. In a country where the sexes are rigorously separated, where topics like sex and race are rarely discussed openly and where a strict code of public morality is enforced by religious Police called hai'a, Ms. Winfrey provides many young Saudi women with new ways of thinking about the way local taboos affect their lives -- as well as about a variety of issues including childhood sexual abuse and coping with marital strife -- without striking them, or Saudi Arabia's ruling authorities, as subversive. Some women here say Ms. Winfrey's assurances to her viewers -- that no matter how restricted or even abusive their circumstances may be, they can take control in small ways and create lives of value -- help them find meaning in their cramped, veiled existence. "Oprah dresses conservatively," explained Princess Reema bint Bandar al-Saud, a ... Source: www.ameinfo.com --- 13 days ago

Knowingly manufacturing and selling defective bulletproof vests to Police officers and others has got to be a low in the annals of corporate misdeeds. And today the Justice Department extracted $30 million from the company it said was one of the wrongdoers -- Armor Holdings Products LLC. The government alleged that Armor Holdings sold the vests, made of Zylon, despite having information that the material degraded rapidly, especially when exposed to light, heat and humidity. Armor sold the vests not only to the federal government, but also to local, state, and tribal law enforcement agencies -- all of which received some reimbursement under the Justice Department's Bulletproof Vest Partnership program. Armor is part of BAE Systems, Britain's largest defense contractor and the fourth-largest weapons maker n the United States. The company has its own problems . Last year, U.S. prosecutors announced that they were investigating whether the company violated anti-corruption laws in deals it made with a Saudi Arabian prince, allegedly to secure an $80 billion arms deal. The settlement on the vests came after three other manufacturers, including Hexcel Corp., of Stamford, Conn., settled with the government which has an ongoing investigation into the defective vests. A year ago, Hexcel agreed to pay $15 million to resolve the federal inquiry into its role in making and selling defective Zylon vests. That company -- and others along with A ...

OK, so Oprah Winfrey has dialed-back her political profile, adhering to a pledge to keep the stage of her daytime television program candidate-free. And she discovered that the off-stage help she did provide her choice for president -- Barack Obama -- could have some negative consequences . But if Obama gains the White House -- and if Oprah is up for a major midlife job change -- she might consider applying for secretary of State. Or, if the pay cut she'd have to take is simply too daunting, maybe she would offer her services as an occasional emissary to the Arab world. The Ticket jests -- though not entirely with the latter suggestion; not after reading today's fascinating New York Times piece headlined: "Veiled Saudi Women Find Unlikely Role Model: Oprah." Here's the gist of the article, in which reporter Katherine Zoepf details the effect of Oprah's show since it began airing in Saudia Arabia in late 2004: In a country where the sexes are rigorously separated, where topics like sex and race are rarely discussed openly and where a strict code of public morality is enforced by religious Police called hai’a, Ms. Winfrey provides many young Saudi women with new ways of thinking about the way local taboos affect their lives — as well as about a variety of issues including childhood sexual abuse and coping with marital strife — without striking them, or Saudi Arabia’s ruling authorities, as subversive.
