I watched most of the History Channel documentary.
IMHO, it was pretty good and showed Wilson “warts and all”.
The most amazing thing was hearing Aaron Sorkin actually sounding
(for the most part) as a reasonable, mainstream guy when assessing
the totality of Charlie Wilson.
Hearing someone like Sorkin making even a bit of sense had me wondering
if I was having a stroke!

Interesting how Sorkin changed his tune the last month on this movie, and I will add the following cross-post, FlA.

“Charlies Wilson’s War” which freepers who have seen it say is very good. Congratulations Universal!

Yes, particularly since NBC-Universal could screw up a rock fight, *lol*. Further, some of the major GOP PAC's are behind this movie. It was no accident that Tom "still The Hammer" DeLay's attorney Dick Deguerin represented Joanne Herring and threatened to sue Universal if they did not cut out all the ultra liberal garbage in the movie, which Universal did cutting out about 40 mintues of footage for the final release.

The reason I know this is bullsheite is how could Charlie Wilson be the cause of training the Mujahadeeneie's if it's Reagan's fault that Osama was trained and equipped to kill us on 9/11? They have to choose, either Wilson is a hero, or Reagan is a dunce. For years now I've been taught that Osama is Reagan's creation, now I'm supposed to believe a drunk congressman from a hot tub singlehandedly beat the Russians?

I'm so confused.
