Charlie Wilson's War

This piece about the new film Charlie Wilson's War is a solid one, and I strongly suggest that anybody who has seen or is thinking about seeing the film read it. I also suggest that anybody interested in modern politics check it out. Good stuff. Author Chalmers Johnson calls the filmmakers out on glossing over the fact that they are lionizing a man who essentially armed al Quaeda.
