I pray that Jesus Christ will reveal the truth to the poster in His perfect way and time. I wish and pray for good things and peace of mind and heart for this poster. May Jesus wrap the poster in His complete love.
If for no other reason than it's being pooh-poohed as passe or somehow the False Lead ... do not let go your focus on the domestic side and let this be rewritten entirely as a Middle Eastern story.
I'd hate to see your plugging away at salient fact be sidetracked by some drama of Personalities and Inner Motives that might as well be moot they're so absolutely unprovable one way or the other beyond a reasonable doubt.
Just my two cents. Sorry not to be more clear but tired and turning in. Night, OKCSubmariner.
