In the latest violation which brought uproar across the Muslim world in particular, Saudi Arabia executed a prominent Shia cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, for challenging the oppression of the royal family and demanding human rights, yet the Obama administration did not publically condemn the action.

Not to mention the small matter of enabling 9/11.

When one is empire building for fun and profit one has to make allowances.
