Dammit, CBS changed the link after the broadcast.

Here's the new link to the same story:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/09/27/60minutes/main523604.shtml

There was a second story on the broadcast about women married to Saudi Arabian men, whose children are abducted by their estranged husbands off to Saudi Arabia, and even though the children have U.S. passports, the children are unable to leave without the consent of their fathers, even though they are clearly abducted.
The same situation exists for many of the wives, they too cannot leave unless unless their husbands give permission, even though they want to leave SAaudi Arabia.

Somehow this Saudi Arabia story is absent from the 60 Minutes website. It parallels the movie Not Without My Daughter, portraying the true story of a woman held against her will in fundamentalist Iran in 1986, who finally managed to escape with her daughter back to the U.S. (Batwomanamy is the one who first told me about this movie. Great story. )

Apparently the same situation exists in Saudi Arabia for many American wives of Saudis, and American-born Arab children. And probably for many European women and children as well.
