Journalist Rob Scheer spoke to United 93 director Paul Greengrass yesterday about that closing-credits line -- "America's war on terror had begun" -- that has been removed "It was absolutely my inclusion, and my exclusion," Greengrass said. "I wouldn't read too much into it. What was seen [by critics] was a very early version of it...it wasn't finished. The thinking was, I wanted the story to feel like it was relevant to today. But when I saw that particular card at the end, I thought 'that's not right' because that's going to divide people. People are going to think, 'Oh does that mean he's for the war on terror or is he against?' and in the end, that's irrelevant. So in the end, I replaced it with the dedication to the victims of September 11th, because I think that the film speaks for itself. I didn't want a card to divide the audience."
