i've posted about it before

but the msm didn't write about it. it's one of those left wing liberal commie rags i read.......

anyway, now that the wapo is actually publishing it, does it NOW make it true?

(i don't know if this particular dude is guilty or not and i don't care. i DO care about how they treat people that work for them. i DO care about how they treat women. do i have issues with 'the arab world' - yes, i do. camel jockeys, the treatment of women, are just TWO in a long line of horrors.)


As Dubai's Glitter Fades, Foreigners See Dark Side
More Jailings, Prosecutions Follow Downturn

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Herve Jaubert, a French spy who left espionage to make leisure submarines for the wealthy, was riding high.

Bankrolled by Dubai World, a government-owned conglomerate, he built a submarine workshop on the Persian Gulf, lived rent-free in a villa with a pool and tooled around town in a red Lamborghini. He had two Hummers. He vacationed with local plutocrats.

Jaubert said he heard whispers about Dubai's darker side -- the abuse of desperate laborers from impoverished Asian lands, the jailing of the occasional Westerner who crossed a sheik -- but "I brushed it all off. I saw glamour. I saw marble columns, mirrors and money."..........
