    Thanks for shar­ing this. I saw the direc­tor on Col­bert the other night. Her paean to the CIA agents as heroes was a bit jar­ring to me. Made me feel that this may indeed be a pro­pa­ganda film?

    I know many of the lawyers who vol­un­teered their time to go to Guan­tanamo which is a very dif­fi­cult task to take on. I honor their ded­i­ca­tion to pre­serve Con­sti­tu­tional rights in the hard­est of all cases. I would agree with you that I would not honor pro­pa­ganda against them. We have a great coun­try, but it is not per­fect. Those who sac­ri­fice to uphold its ideals should not be dis­re­spected, even in Hol­ly­wood films, but that is my opinion.

    I won’t watch for free. I know most of the Guan­tanamo lawyers and they all deserve respect.

    Are we sure that the plot of the movie really hap­pened? My for­mer Marine hus­band has raised some valid questions…it’s always good to con­sider all possibilities.
