there was an article a few weeks back that touched on some of the subjects in this article. according to the writer, it's hard to find out much because people are pretty much forbidden to talk about it, and the press if far from free like we have here. one thing that was mentioned was all the cars abandoned at the airport. people only have 30 days to find a job if they lose theirs, and of course with having debtors prison, they know they have a limited amount of time to find something-so many just hightail it out. i've been wondering if the sheikh will start cutting back on all his spending-dubai is not what it once was, and they have no oil resources...

wow...an eye opening piece of journalism... unfortunately I'm not overly surprised and certainly not at all skeptical of the veracity of the article!

Thanks for posting this link. I started to read it days ago but it was so long I had to save it for later perusal. Hope it ends well.
