Addition to your statements in the hearing
Reader comment on article: Hearing on “Should the United States Do More to Help U.S. Citizens Held against Their Will in Saudi Arabia?”

Dear Dr. PIPES:
If I remember right, I read somewhere that the Saudis specifically forbade the celebration of Jewish religious services prior to enter in combat. And what amazed me the most, was the lack of guts of the American Jewish soldiers of not tell their officers in an unmistakably way, that were not going to shed one drop of sweat, let alone of blood for those bastards, regardless of facing court martial.
Please investigate the matter. It won't hurt, in spite of the shamelessness of too many government big wigs the Saudi seem to have completely in their back pockets.
Sincerely
J. Mandelblum
Miami, Fl
