Isn't today the deadline for Paul Johnson?
I fear there is going to be another Nick Berg video soon. Let's hope for the best. I hold the Saudis responsible for this problem. They have fostered a hell of a lot more Al Qaeda within their borders than Iraq ever did (which was virtually none).

2. yes.

The kidnappers released a video tape of Johnson on Tuesday night saying they would kill him unless the Saudi government released all militants in its prisons within 72 hours. The Saudis have rejected the demand.

It is not known exactly when the deadline expires as the time of the video tape's release to an Islamic Web site was not clear. But it is presumed the deadline runs out Friday evening Saudi time or Friday afternoon eastern U.S. time.
