annc said any reports? ...

will this be in any papers or news reports?
Qatar should be careful, though- if expatriates see this, and refuse to come here, some companies could have difficulty recruiting workers (high-end, oil company experts)to bring their families here!"

- Is this a threat to Qatar? Lol! Come on, there is NO difficulty recruiting workers here in Qatar. The competition to work in Qatar is so much more stiffer since Dubai hit the skids. Who are you kidding? Nobody is fooled by your statement.

Sorry, but Qatar's stand would be generally that you can take it or leave it - they won't tell that directly but will simply keep a dignified silence.

/NB: I doubt it would be reported in the newspapers - the control which you can perceive as being attacks - unfair and hiding facts and curtailing freedoms, human rights abuses, etc. can also be a protection. Don't think that they are only protecting themselves only but they are also protecting you. There is always a bigger picture to the scheme of things, if you will. Only if you have ALL the information can you be the Judge. Only God has ALL the information. The rest of humankind is flawed so we live and let live. There are freedoms granted but with certain conditions, for the safety of the general population - locals and expatriates.
