Deviant Group

The Saudis still fund the Islamo-fascist ideology that spawns terrorism, but in the last few years at least the Saudis recognize that this support doesn't get them a pass from the jihadis.

The Saudis nabbed a whole bunch:

Police arrested 172 Islamic militants, some of whom had trained abroad as pilots so they could fly aircraft in attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil fields, the Interior Ministry said Friday. A spokesman said all that remained in the plot "was to set the zero hour."

The Saudis know they need to fight the jihadis, too. This is progress. Though given Saudi funding of the ideology that spawned this group, these terrorists are not so much deviant as a logical extension of Saudi policy. So we have more progress to make in regard to the Saudis.

But having them on both sides of the fight is real progress, sadly enough.
