Hollywood Hubris - CIA Propaganda

Rating: 5/10 (26 February 2013)

Such a well-done film, but devoid of truth. The six were never in danger at the Grand Bazaar because they were never there. They were never interrogated at the airport, or even viewed askance. They just boarded and flew to Zurich. There was no chase scene on the runway. The Canadians did most of the heavy lifting but somehow the CIA comes out smelling like a rose. Yet history tells us that CIA bungling (pardon the redundancy) by involvement with SAVAK and Pavlavi led to the current Iranian police state.
Affleck repeatedly claimed the film is accurate, neutral in ideology and free from politics. It is exactly the opposite.
Only in Hollywood and the minds of Low Information Voters, can fabrication be real.
