Saudi Moneybags Try to Get Infidels to Hew to Sharia Law--As Per Usual

The Saudis have been using "lawfare"— the practice of suing their enemies/critics and thereby shutting them up—for many years. Yet in a "Comment" on the front page of the National Post about the latest instance of Saudi lawfare— its attempt to intimidate Canadian TV stations into dropping ads for EthicalOil.org—Claudia Cattaneo pens this startling statement:

 "Out of character"?  Nuh-uh. More like par for the course. Just ask Rachel Ehrenfeld, for one.
