Body of lies

movie vs book
Aisha in the movie, but Alice Melville in the book
Roger Ferris' grandfather background info is relevant in the book (Fares)
Gretchen Ferris seems superfluous in the book. Carice van Houten actually played the character of Roger's wife Gretchen Ferris, but all her scenes were deleted and she does not appear in the final cut.
Hani makes a video of Suleiman which Ferris delivers to Al Jazeera. Not sure why Ferris had to deliver it personally?
