Powerline reports good news from Saudi Arabia

Stephen Schwarz, a vocal critique of Wahhabism and, not surprisingly Saudi Arabia itself, is becoming "more optimistic" that, "King Abdullah is in fact prevailing in his struggle against the backward elements in his family," so Powerline reports.

Schwarz's evidence? According to Powerline, Schwarz points to the fact the Saudis have relaxed their censorship policy to the point where they can now permit the publication of a book that goes so far as to praise Jewish contributions to civilization.
