As John R. Bradley—former editor for the anti-American Saudi mouthpiece Arab News—works to promote himself as a serious journalist, I recommend that all our readers review the man’s writing by following this link to a page of LGF search results for his name: John R. Bradley.
And note that every one of the appallingly hateful articles he produced at the command of his Saudi masters has been deleted from the Arab News site. Purely a coincidence, I’m sure.
Bradley visited LGF several times: here, here, and in this topic (suggested by Joe Katzman.)
Don’t miss this classic comment from Mr. Bradley:
I’m off for a stroll down Jeddah’s fabulous Corniche, the longest in the world and a kind of open air museum peppered with famous, giant-size sculptures. At dusk the largest fountain in the world bursts into life. Ordinary families settle down to have picnics. Polite smiles and hellos from strangers. A completely crime-free environment. Ah! A bit of civilization …
And note that the society about which he waxed poetic is the same society about which he now writes harshly critical articles.
UPDATE: I’m also struck by the ridiculously overdone legalistic boilerplate employed by Bradley—and whoever’s funding/designing his site. I suspect the money may be at least partly his own, distributed to law firms on the Saudi payroll. The House of Saud is known for rewarding its toadies very well.
