[Washington Post] Faiza Saleh Ambah - Saudi Arabia's most popular blogger, Fouad al-Farhan, has been detained for questioning, a Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman confirmed Monday. Farhan, 32, used his blog to criticize corruption and call for political reform. Unlike most of those who blog in the kingdom, Farhan used his real name. In December, Farhan listed his 10 least favorite Saudi personalities, including a businessman prince, a prominent cleric, a minister, a mayor, and the head of the judiciary.
