Bashing the wrong people

摘要

Sandwiched between Iraq and Yemen, Saudi Arabia has reason to worry about terrorism. It recently sent 30,000 troops to its Iraqi border to protect itself from that country's rampant new "caliphate" (see previous article). On July 4th suspected al-Qaeda militants attacked a post on the kingdom's Yemeni border, killing six. Yet recently enacted anti-terrorism legislation has so far been more enthusiastically directed at a different target: Saudi human-rights activists.
