All that and Bill Moyers' Journal on NOW.
MOYERS: Welcome to NOW. As President Bush continues to push for war in Iraq there are new worries about our oldest Arab ally, Saudi Arabia and it's role in supporting terror. Just this week an influential group of American theologians, philosophers and political scientists wrote an open letter to Saudi intellectuals asking them to acknowledge and discuss their country's role in protecting and spreading Islamist terror but the government refused to allow the letter to be published there and censored the one newspaper that tried to print it. Saudi Arabia has a lot to hide, and that's the subject of our special report tonight coproduced with the NEW YORK TIMES. The TIMES' Phillip Shenon is the correspondent, Nelli Kheyfets and Jason Maloney, the producers.
