Yes. I read your post. I also left it lay, as your conclusion that F 9/11 would lead to a Saudi witch hunt is rather threadbare. If you'd paid some attention to F 9/11 you'd be able to note that the film points out numerous valid questions that have yet to be answered. Whether or not others go on witch hunts instead of answering the questions is altogether irrelevant - save for the fact that in doing so they quickly reveal their lack of principle. For what purpose, again, one can only question. Sad state of affairs when questions are considered more chaotic than actions.
