Paul - I don't know the guy or his history to be able to comment on that, and it seems you know a lot more about his motivations and underlying reasons for doing what he's doing.

But if what happened is correct, then I understand his frustration. But as we've both said, perhaps he was naive/stupid/whatever to think that promises would be kept.

I don't see much problem with the centre moving else where and renaming, but I agree it's more likely that just he and a few others will leave and the centre will stay quiet on issues concerning Qatar, like Al Jazeera does.
