If you believe that this PR move is somehow an indication of the Saudis expanding the rights of women, keep dreaming. These Islamic assholes will always treat their women like chattel.

Interesting that Iraqi women under Saddam had more rights than they do under the Saudis. The Iranian women as well.
As for wow's crack about Pelosi and Clinton covering their heads, that's what is called diplomacy and courtesy. Defying custom or law isn;t going to make the women's lot any better but it will make the Saudis dig in harder on any number of issues. Since when do waving red flags in front of a bull get anything done?
