At 9 every night, from Dhahran on the Persian Gulf to Riyadh in the middle of the Saudi desert, thousands of television viewers blithely ignore the nightly news program on Saudi television to tune into a television channel that is barred from the Government-controlled airwaves.

It's a balancing act, depending on the behavior, the evidence, on what the stakes might be.
