Charlie Wilson's War

2008-07-07 17:45:42.464605+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Okay, how did I miss Charlie Wilson's War[Wiki]? Mike Nichols[Wiki], Aaron Sorkin[Wiki], Tom Hanks[Wiki] et al, doing what is essentially a pro-war pro-CIA pro-interventionist movie? And a comedy at that? I think my Dad had mentioned it in passing, it wasn't on my radar 'til then, but we were looking for something mindless on Saturday evening and it was both giggle entertainment and and an interesting set of statements on foreign policy and U.S. government. Recommended.
