Saudi censorship (Western-approved, like Israeli censorship)

Sources in Saudi Arabia tell me that Reuters' correspondent in Saudi Arabia, Andrew Hammond, one of the most knowledgeable reporters in the Middle East today, was kicked out of Saudi Arabia. He was asked to leave because he veered off the official story that Prince Sultan came to US for hospitalization. The Saudi government pressured Hammond to reveal his sources and he refused. (According to official Saudi media, Prince Sultan is not sick BUT he is recuperating nicely).
