Sarah and the Saudis
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - Sarah Saga, a 23-year-old American mother, is now holed up with her two children in the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah in a desperate bid for freedom. Back in September Prince Bandar, the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S., claimed it is "absolutely not true" that any American women were in his country against their will. Ms. Saga's flight to the consulate suggests otherwise. For under Saudi law no woman - even an American - is free to leave that country if her father or husband forbids it.
