Al Qaeda rehab includes spa treatments, family fun time in Saudi Arabia

This sounds wonderful.  That is until one realizes that the Saudis care not one whit if the terrorists return to violent jihad, as long as they leave Saudi Arabia to do it.   FRankly, it's almost like an R&R for terrorists to prep them for more acts of violence.  The Saudis only care that the terrorists do not try to overthrow the Kingdom.  The irony is that Saudi is one of the main financers of global jihad and a network of thousands of Saudi staffed radical mosques and Islamic centers around the world.
