I have never heard anyone say that. Did you see The Departed? I think you must be thinking of some other director.

“A brief example of Martin Scorsese’s politics can be found in this Reuters story from January 2003, quoting him on the Iraq war:
“One hopes that this kind of war can be done diplomatically, with intelligence rather than wiping out a lot of innocent civilians,” Scorsese told BBC radio. ...
“There are a lot of Americans who also feel that a lot of this (war talk) is economic,” he said in London where he attended the premier of “Gangs.” “Part of this has to do with the oil.”
Scorsese also appeared to suggest that the U.S. was heavy-handed in the way it approached other cultures.
“I think it really has to come down to respecting how other people live,” he said. “There’s got to be ways this can be worked out diplomatically, there simply has to be.”
(I would allow that we fell a little short in terms of respecting how Uday, Qusay and Saddam lived, and might have been a bit heavy handed with regard to their culture of mass rape, torture and murder.)
