Saudi Arabia has a hired a PR firm to help improve the image of their country in America. They no longer wish to be seen as breeding and harboring terrorists.

Stung by criticism about its role in fighting terrorism, Saudi Arabia has
launched a radio advertising campaign in 19 U.S. cities citing the Sept. 11
commission report as proof that it has been a loyal ally in the fight against
al-Qaida.

The two advertisements quote the commission's conclusion that the Saudi
government did not fund al-Qaida. One ad cites the report's finding that Saudi
Arabia stopped a 1998 plot to attack U.S. troops; the other cites a finding that
Saudis were not flown out of the United States right after the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks.

This is rich. Years of history and fact are to be flung by the wayside, because they're paying for advertising??

But David Sirota of the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank
that has criticized Bush's relationship with Saudi Arabia, said the ads try "to
take the focus out of a more broad and historic look at their policies with
regard to terror."

"It's sort of a distraction tactic," he said.

No kidding.
