Saudis Offer Militants One-Month Amnesty

Saudi Arabia announced a limited amnesty Wednesday for Muslim militants
[How long, oh Lord, will the Leftist press persist in calling these terrorists "militants?"--Jen]
who surrender in the next month, saying they will not face the death penalty and will only be prosecuted if they committed acts that hurt others.

Crown Prince Abdullah read the brief announcement on behalf of his half-brother, King Fahd, on state television Wednesday.

"We are opening the door of amnesty ... to everyone who deviated from the path of right and committed a crime in the name of religion, which is in fact a corruption on earth," he said.

I wonder if his brother, Clown Prince Nayef, got the memo...you know, the one who sponsors Islamofacist terrorism within the Soddie "security forces."
I think this is nothing more than posturing and window-dressing for the West, but poor old Prince Abdullah probably means it.
I'm sure he'll get lots of takers. Aren't you?
I also wonder if Abdullah also secretly--or perhaps not so secretly--thinks that the bad guys staging the attacks on Western "infidels" in his country are Zionists?
