Bill Moyers Journal takes a look at Regent University, Pat Robertson's Christian leadership institution, which is working to ensure that Biblical principles are reflected in the law of the land.

The recent controversy over the firing of federal prosecutors found Regent University graduate Monica Goodling - special counsel to Alberto Gonzalez and one of some 150 Regent students who have worked in the Bush administration since 2001 - at the center of a political firestorm. Bill Moyers Journal takes viewers to commencement at Robertson's university for a closer look at its mission to ensure Biblical principles are reflected in the law of the land.

Also on the program: Nick Gillespie, editor-in-chief of the libertarian monthly Reason magazine, discusses the war, the media and the impact of the religious right in Washington today; and historian Marilyn B. Young, co-editor of Iraq and the Lessons of Vietnam: Or, How Not to Learn from the Past, talks about history's lessons for the war in Iraq.
