Maybe?

I read this earlier:

This leads me to say something about the Jeremy Lott / Rich Lowry slugfest over whether we should nuke Mecca in response to an Islamist nuclear attack on the United States. I wasn't going to weigh in on this, and I still won't weigh in on the merits. I'll just note that if I were a conspiracy theorist I'd be very impressed about the way this idea has reared its head in a fashion that is impossible for, say, the Saudis to miss, but in a fashion that cannot in any way be linked to the Administration.

Am I way off base to think that Saudi policymakers may not be paying the closest attention to online content of a couple of little-read American political opinion publications? Hell, I'm a news junkie, and I've not been following this one all that closely. But maybe I'm wrong, and the "revolution" really has gone that far.
