This is quite interesting:

Saudi Arabia's foreign minister will meet President Bush (news - web sites) on Tuesday and was likely to ask that portions of a Sept. 11 report related to Saudi Arabia be declassified, U.S. officials and diplomatic sources said.



Saudi Prince Saud al-Faisal requested a meeting with Bush and it was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, officials said.


A section of the congressional report on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on whether there was any Saudi support for the hijackers was classified except for one page.


Saudi Arabia would like to be able to respond to the section.


"Saudi Arabia has nothing to hide. We can deal with questions in public, but we cannot respond to blank pages," Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan said last week.


As several people have written recently, major things are happening in the Mid-east. Perhaps the Saudi's are realizing that they have credibility issues in the US that can't be solved by a few weak commercials. They will answer to the American people or suffer economically.
