I recently heard a discussion on NPR that the press was becoming
more lenient in Saudi Arabia. People were more willing to
write material that was critical of the regime.
In other words, they do not know, and have no assurance,
that what may be acceptable to write one day will still
be acceptable the next.
This is not a rule by law.
It is rule by whim.
Best,
LIz
