The Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, has asked the Decider(TM) to decide to decide to intervene in a lawsuit in the Federal courts that accuses the Persian Gulf state of forcing thousands of children to work as camel jockeys. In a letter to GW the sheikh noted that the UAE was "a key partner in the global war against terrorism" and asked for his assistance in having the suit, filed under the Alien Tort's Act, thrown out. I shall be following this one closely I think.
