In an otherwise horribly depressing story (American woman arrested in Saudi Arabia for going to Starbucks) there’s this bit:

“I was lucky. I met other women in that prison who don’t have the connections I did,” she said. Her story has received rare coverage in Saudi Arabia, where the press has been sharply critical of the police.

She went to Starbucks to use the wireless connection when the power went out in her office, and that’s the other interesting bit: These buffoons sit on top of the world’s greatest energy supply but apparently can’t keep the lights on in Riyadh.
