AP PHOTO - Laith Shbailat, a prominent Jordanian opposition figure, is seen at a hospital in Amman Sunday Oct. 25, 2009, after he was attacked Sunday morning by unidentified assailants. Shubeilat says Sunday’s early morning attack followed a televised interview he gave to an Arab satellite channel, in which he accused the government of corruption and repeated his call for ending the peace treaty with Israel.

The Islamic Action Front is spinning similar conspiracy theories.

Speaking of parliamentarians: the approval rating for the government is down to 19% and down to 7% for the parliament.
