Re: Saudi woman to be lashed
Of course, her punishment could always be reinstated once the media furor dies down, or she could be retried and sent to prison, or she could be let go and the 3 or 4 other women charged with the same crime could be flogged instead. Letting her off probably has more to do with internal Saudi powerplay than international indignation. If she was a foreign national it might make a difference but posting video of herself driving on youtube (essentially giving the law the finger) will not likely go unpunished.

For years the gov here recognised that giving free flu shots to people who are chronically ill was cost effective in terms of avoiding or reducing unnecessary and costly hospital treatment later for people likely to suffer complications from getting flu. Most medical advice backs that idea.
Some fool proposed "saving" $600k by scrapping the.. The gov spent two weeks in consultation - and probably a lot of money too - and when they had the feedback they spent 5 minutes deciding to dismiss the idea.
