Marine free speech? (http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/story/2012-04-06/marine-obama-free-speech/54071856/1)

The ME states are nothing more than medieval dictatorships in regards of civil rights and liberties, sometimes transvestided as "modern" places.
They are slowly buying the world free press. They even established a fully functional CNN studio in Abu Dhabi, so nobody will ever heard from the TV network a single word of criticism about the sponsors...Voice silenced.:{

Heard (only a rumour) that there is another airline in the UAE? Anybody know about them, t&c's, fleet, destinations?

There are around 7 airlines in the UAE. This thread isn't about any of them:rolleyes:

.. Apparently there is a Major Carrier that operates out of Abu Dhabi? ..
