In Texas today, President Bush is hosting Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah at his ranch in Crawford. Vice President Dick Cheney met with the Crown Prince last night in Dallas and is expected to attend today’s meeting as well. The summit comes as the price of gas is at a near all-time high. Bush is expected to prod the Saudi leader to expand oil production. Since the two last met three years ago the price of gas has soared fifty percent. The meeting also comes shortly after Human Rights Watch criticized the kingdom for violating basic human rights of its citizens. Last month, Saudi officials detained more than one hundred men who reportedly had gathered at a wedding for two men. Four of the men were sentenced to up to two years in prison as well as two thousand lashes. Meanwhile religious freedom is also under attack in Saudi Arabia. On Friday Saudi officials detained forty Pakistani Christians for holding prayers at a home in Riyadh.
