Saudi King Abdullah Has Died, Replaced By Crown Prince Salman
Over at Bloomberg, just a news blurb at the top of the page so far.
Now, the way I heard it -- and who knows what the hell the truth is -- is that King Abdullah was more or less pro-Western and Not Insane but the many princes surrounding him were Pro Al Qaeda.
What does his death do as far as Saudi Arabia's ugly game of playing Al Qaeda and the US off each other?
I don't know.
And Open Thread: Heading out for a bit before our podcast.
