Just so people know, only those in the UK can watch the above link.
There are ways around such things, but given they would be highly illegal and may lead to the Copyright Stormtroopers being sent to your home, I could never recommend them.

Thats a bit of a downer ,, I thought iplayer site was an Open view site ..
My mistake ... Because it was an absolute Fantastic insight and gave 2 sides of the life in Arabia ...
Only subject that was taboo to speak on Camera about was the Religious Police .. aprt from it , each of the Area of the country is run by a member of the family in which all tribes have there say as well the women .
And even the influx if the Net , some some that welcome it others that dont but it's mainly the older generation that dislike it .. some areas are less Moderate than others .
Saudi's are now investing in Training there own which over time will see less and less hiring of foreign skilled workers ..
And are building 6 New Cities with the money made from Oil and itself will some some achievement when completed .

Agreed, that is the responsible position to take on this issue.
To ensure none of us inadvertently do something unlawful, perhaps you could tell us what is is we shouldn't be doing.p-)

In terms of the threat it poses to us in the west, that is correct.

No its because they want to sell your TV station the program overseas. They dont want you watching it on the net for free then.

No, I wasn't talking about the threat. It's just a horrible, crappy, backwards country.

But they have made US corporations and Cheney's friends billions over the years, so it doesn't matter. Those sick, revolting desert neanderthals should have been nuked to the last man, for the benefit of all mankind.

The Saudi society is, in many ways, rotten, but I have known a few very decent people from that country. Their religious views were moderate, they believed the Arabs should accept Israel, and they respected women.
Not all Saudis are bad, and calling for their genocide makes a person no better than the worst of them.

I don't know about you but my last name isn't Hitler, so nuking a whole nation and comitting a genocide bigger then the holocaust isn't really my style.
I didn't say every Saudi is a piece of crap, far from it, I said the country is the worst.
The way you describe them as "sick, revolting desert neanderthals" who should be nuked definetly says you have some "issues" Lol
