No but please enlighten I would like to rent it! AlQ takes much of their idea's from American movies. Saddam learned all he knows from being a thug thanks to his affection for The Godfather

Yes, I had read that about The Godfather. I believe Black Hawk Down was another movie frequently viewed...

Forgot to mention that the world traveling TV correspondent in WRONG IS RIGHT is Sean Connery, which alone makes the movie worth the price of admission. He takes his toupee off at the end, too, which led to some gasps in the theater where I saw it. Remember, this was 1981-82...don't think he had gone public with the toupee yet. *g*

I find the series Threat Matrix riveting and frightening, particularly one episode where they profiled stolen Cargo planes from Africa, loaded with nuke material stolen or sold from Russia, flying into a barge in Boston Harbor loaded with fuel.
