Yes, a nominal change with no substance
Reader comment on item: Saudi Arabian Airlines Cleans Up Its Act
Submitted by Charles Martel (United States), Aug 31, 2007 at 10:56
Yes, the "Wings of Wahabi Oppression" haven't changed a bit, but they cleverly moved to put lipstick on the Wahabi pig.
Western governments obviously don't care about religious freedom in Saudi (or even religious freedom at home, I'm bitterly disappointed to say) so this nominal change will protect the Wahabis from further headaches on this issue.
