It was on the CBC broadcast of The Fifth Estate a couple of weeks ago. They are the Canadian equivalent of Dateline or 20/20. Given that CBC is government funded, they tend not to go to extremes the way say Fox does. They started out by saying they want to investigate various conspiracy theories and separate the facts from fiction. Given flight rights to the Saudis which included members of OBL was one of those things that came out as fact. Here is a link to the web for that program, but I am not sure how closely it tracks the broadcast. Happy reading. cbc.ca

the fifth estate: Conspiracy Theories
Broadcast on the fifth estate Wednesday, October 29 2003 on CBC TV at 9PM
Repeated on CBC Newsworld on Tuesday November 4th at 10 PM, Wednesday November 5th at 1 AM

In a special season premiere investigation the fifth estate's Bob McKeown finds that even the most outlandish conspiracy theory may have its basis in a legitimate question. In the course of separating fact from fiction, Bob delves into the labyrinthine and surprising ties between the Bushes and the Bin Ladens. What he finds out may startle you as much as any conspiracy theory.
