Reuters reports, "Senate panel to examine CIA contacts with "Zero Dark Thirty" filmmakers."
"After the Senate Intelligence Committee's chairwoman expressed outrage over scenes that imply "enhanced interrogations" of CIA detainees produced a breakthrough in the hunt for Osama bin Laden, the panel has begun a review of contacts between the makers of the film "Zero Dark Thirty" and CIA officials."
Dianne Feinstein is using the power of the Senate to harrass a private business because she does not approve of the content of one of its films. Apparently, the story doesn't comport with the official version of History, and so someone must pay.
That's very worrisome.
She is also pursuing the CIA and DoD executives who provided special access to classified information to the film makers... now. When Conservative legal group, Judicial Watch used FOIA requests to bring the Administration's propaganda effort to light, Feinstein didn't see any problem.
That's also worrisome, that the Central Government would secretly collude with a media company to shape public perceptions of Government actions in ways favorable to the Government and that the media company would be a willing accomplice to the propaganda effort.
Leni Riefenstahl, you may have a job waiting for you at Sony Pictures. The film's director Kathryn Bigelow, has failed to accurately present the Official Truth.
The bright spot in all this is that they are eating their own. Bigelow is a slavish acolyte. Sony is a Corporate Crony. Dianne Feinstein demonstrates once again what a hypocrite she is and that she values her vision of Truth Justice and the American Way higher than Freedom of Speech, Constitutional limits on Government AND National Security. Michael Morell, acting CIA chief, no doubt estimated that his obedience in putting the president's appetite for adulation above his duty to National Security would make him a lock on the top job at CIA after Petreus took his fall. Now Feinstein will most likely make him the fall guy in this. Maybe she'll pull Bradley Manning out of prison to take the job.
I should be worried that our National Leaders are this venal and incompetent. But I think that is the only guarantor of our freedoms we have left.
