The Saudi king has pardoned a female rape victim sentenced to jail and 200 lashes for being alone with a man raped in the same attack, reports say.....
The male and female victims were in a car together when they were abducted and raped by seven attackers, who were given jail sentences up to nine years.
Press reports say King Abdullah's move did not mean the sentence was wrong.........Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to mix with men who are not close family members....
I don't think I'll be visiting Saudi Arabia.
* Sen. Hillary Clinton's popularity is growing in New York. SILive:
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is losing his grip on the Republican base in New York state, the latest Quinnipiac Poll released today shows.....
......But on the other side of the coin, Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton continues to distance herself from Illinois Senator Barack Obama, boasting a lead of 55-17 percent. Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards is a distant third at seven percent.....
Looks like Giuliani has peaked.
