Psy-Ops: free advice for the CIA (continued)

A previous post suggested the CIA start forging messages from bin Laden, exploiting his hatred of the Saudis to portray his descent into madness.

Well, the Saudis just provided a good opening for such a gambit:
Saudi King calls for interfaith dialogue
By DONNA ABU-NASR and ABDULLAH SHIHRI, Associated Press Writers
25 Mar 2008
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - The Saudi king has made an impassioned plea for dialogue among Muslims, Christians and Jews — the first such proposal from a nation with no diplomatic ties to Israel and a ban on non-Muslim religious services and symbols.
...
"The idea is to ask representatives of all monotheistic religions to sit together with their brothers in faith and sincerity to all religions as we all believe in the same God," the king told delegates Monday night at a seminar on "Culture and the Respect of Religions."
...
The call — the first of its kind by an Arab leader — was significant. The Saudi monarch is the custodian of Islam's two holiest shrines in Mecca and Medina, a position that lends his words special importance and influence. Abdullah said Saudi Arabia's top clerics have given him the green light — crucial backing in a society that expects decisions taken by its rulers to adhere to Islam's tenets.

It also raises the possibility that a religious dialogue could have a political impact in the Middle East, easing tensions between Arabs and Israelis in a way that years of off-and-on negotiations and political conferences have failed to do.
We could not ask for a better opportunity to exploit bin Laden's hatred of the Saudis!

So... if any of my myriad readers has CIA connections (Richard, you know who you are!), please encourage them to take advantage of this gift!
