I heard the Jordanian Interior Minister, `Id Al-Fayiz, speak. What a gifted man. He said that the parliamentary “elections” in Jordan were characterized by “smoothness, honesty, and transparency” and that they were conducted at the “highest level of neutrality and precision”–whatever that means. Jordan is a country where I harbor the same hostility and contempt for both: the government and the Islamist opposition.
