Even if I did agree with the current war in Iraq, don’t you think I would want to hear what is really happening there? Don’t you think it’s weird that though we are at war, some people wouldn’t let a war movie be played on television? There’s irony in there somewhere. Just seems to me if we are sending off the troops to fight and maybe die, we should allow a movie about a previous war, one that was not unpopular, on television. They showed it befiore unedited! I just don’t get it. Don’t people want to know what is really happening? (I’m really asking here, not just being sarcastic) Frank Rich writes a really great article on the censorship of Private Ryan and how it may be affecting coverage of the war (as if that’s not already being skewed).
