Dave in Boca's blog looks promising:

Dave's a retired Foreign Service Officer who lived in such countries of interest as France, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam, as well as serving in Foggy Bottom and advised a big oil company on international political risk. I've posted some of his emails before, such as his story of how Prince Bandar conned the King of Saudi Arabia into letting American troops into his kingdom during Desert Shield. His first posts include some speculations on the career of Michael Ledeen.
