US Profs Silent on the Fate of Benefactor Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal

Middle East studies benefactor Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal has been freed from detention in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, U.S. profs maintain radio silence on the subject.

Update: Via Daniel Pipes on Twitter:

How revealing that #MidEast studies professors have nothing to say on this topic. My guess why: They don’t want to upset either Mohammad bin Salman nor AlWaleed Bin Talal. So, they stay mum. What heroes! (As for me: I’m with #MbS.)
