Diane I'm quiet suprised, I knew The Wall Street Journal was a sponsor of the Dubai tournie but they have dropped their sponsorship.
I did expect News Corp (Rupert Murdoch) would do anything. Their record in record in China is a different matter. News Corp owns SKY and I think DTV (correct me if I'm wrong that's cable operator in America).
Newsweek is another sponsor but I'm not sure if News Corp owns them.

Apologies for the typo, I meant to say, I did not believe they (News Corp) would do anything.
If Rupert pulls the plug it's goodnight Dubai.

If Andy Ram does get the go ahead for next week's Dubai tournament (which I doubt he will), the level of security will be at an almost insane level
