Apparently there was a segment on O'Reilly's program last night both about the conference and about the $20 million Georgetown recently got from the Saudi prince. I couldn't find a clip, though.
Also--I seem to remember someone having attended the PSM conference and blogged about it when it was held at Duke a year or so ago. This was someone pro-Israel (a Duke student, if I remember correctly) who attended the conference under cover, or something like that. Anybody got a link?

There's an op-ed piece about the PSM conference in the Washington Post today:
