SAUDIS CONTINUE AL QAIDA FUNDING
Prominent and wealthy Saudis cintinue to channel funds to al Qaida in defiance of a ban on such activity.
At a certain point, the United States will have to stop saying " please" to the Saudi monarchy and take matters into it's own hands regarding al Qaida's two key non-member supports - sympathetic fundraisers and religious ideologues in the mosques. If either group is integral to al Qaida's continued existence and operation and legal-diplomatic means have been exhausted, then members of these groups will be considered lawful targets of war.
