How did you feel about the TV adaptation of The Looming Tower on Hulu . I felt they focused only on the human drama and left out so much that for the first time made me understand the conflict in Middle East and could be so helpful to everyone in us ..do you feel there is another vehicle for this book a PBS documentary perhaps ?

Lawrence Wright It's a good idea to do a documentary on it, maybe for the twentieth anniversary of 9/11. Thanks for the idea!
