Hollywood myth-making on Valerie Plame controversy |
2010-12-04 |
WaPo In fact, "Fair Game," based on books by Mr. Wilson and his wife, is full of distortions - not to mention outright inventions. To start with the most sensational: The movie portrays Ms. Plame as having cultivated a group of Iraqi scientists and arranged for them to leave the country, and it suggests that once her cover was blown, the operation was aborted and the scientists were abandoned. This is simply false. In reality, as The Post's Walter Pincus and Richard Leiby reported, Ms. Plame did not work directly on the program, and it was not shut down because of her identification. |

#6 It's a loss-leader. The real profit comes in ten years, when it's used in high school and college history classes. |

#4 I will do my part by ignoring this movie. BTW the rest of America lost interest in this movie right after it was released. |

#2 Said Mr. Wilson: "For people who have short memories or don't read, this is the only way they will remember that period." Which I think is the point of the exercise... |
