Haggis didn't win Best Director for Crash. He got Best Picture but not Best Director

Any film dealing with a political subject starring an avowed liberal like Penn and directed by an avowed liberal like Haggis cannot be taken seriously. It is akin to having Charlton Heston star in a bio film about Bill Clinton that was directed by John Milius. ZERO CREDIBILITY.

Fox runs right-tilted "news" all day long and one movie with Sean Penn in it is enough to make you guys start crying into your beer? Girl, please.

A movie starring a hard left socialist like Penn and an even harder leftest like Haggis, you might as well start this movie out as "Once upon a time...". It will lose whatever truth is in it by all the propaganda surrounding it. I wonder if it will cover the Sudanese offer to bring Osama back to the states?? Probably not...A complete waste of money.

Sounds like a reality based film, and as we all know now, reality has a definite liberal bias. Film hasn't even been made yet and already the nutcases are out condemming it. Give me a break!

..and Tim Robbins could play Bill Clinton to avoid the appearance of leftie spin. Helen Thomas could play Madeline Albright.

I have to agree with John Fiebke above. What in the world will the liberal secularists talk about following the Democratic sweeps in '06, '08? They will actually have to come up with some solutions to problems as opposed to personality assasination. Frankly, I don't think they have it in them.

I had no idea ABC's website audience was so right wing. I guess I'm looking at the 29% who are out of their minds. Bush is the worst president in american history. 9/11 proved that. Accept it

Bush or Clinton, Bush or Clinton. They are both responsible, just as almost ALL of our congressmen and senators. Our lawmakers only care about one thing, their pockets. Someone should make a movie about the REAL truth called "We're on Our Own!"

Left - Right OR Stupid and believing the hype...(aka Foxed out) No sir - Mr. Penn is a true patriot - anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot! This man loves his country and wants to save it from the neocons. "If your not outraged - you're not paying attention!" I do agree with the fact that someone should make a film about the man who knew too much; John O'Neill. Who was forced out because he knew too much about the crooks in charge! Go Penn!

I wonder if they'll cover Clarke's years in the Clinton White House when he helped establish a government computer program to read everyone's e-mails. Maybe they can use the actual footage of Clarke telling everyone about his involvement. Nah, democrats spying on Americans during times of peace is boring stuff.

I am really getting tired of people saying FOX news is some conservative news station without an example to back it up. We can however look at Rathergate, X's over the vice presidents face, airing the presidents rehearsals, and a number of other examples from the "old media" that truly shows where the bias is.

I wonder it the flick will have Penn playing the grandstanding apology in front of the 9/11 commission, in which Clarke sanctimoniously apologizes to the victim families that "we (government) all failed you," only to proceed to explain that he's the only one not to blame.

Or, maybe he or Tim Robbins could play Joe Wilson warning on ABC Nightline, right before the Iraq war started, that Saddam HAVING WMD (Chem and Bio) was itself strong reason NOT
to invade; and then 4 months later publishing his grandstanding crap about Bush "ignoring" his "finding" that Saddam wasn't after yellowcake Uranium (he already had over 100 tons of it at Tuwaitha.)

Bush Lied? ZZZZZZZT! Correct answer is Lies about "lies," which creepy Narcissists like Wilson will gladly pony up if there's an avaiable microphone ( or very slanted editorial board) and wind blowing the right direction.

More from terrorism "expert" Clark. For you with short memories, during the early '80s Clark engineered the most embarrassing operation ever. In order to make Ghadaffi in Libya think there was a U.S. invasion going on, Clark had Navy ships dump inflatable zodiac boats along the coast. No wonder we were seen as a paper tiger.

Americans, you gotta love 'em. Outraged over Clinton lying over oral-sex, threats of empeachment. With Bush, suggesting anything like an investigation about his handling of terrorism, taking your country into Iraq is treason.

Just keep fighting the war. Some day you'll understand that security and liberty are opposite ends of a balance.

"Don't look back, something might be gaining on you."

Absolutely right about Haggis, our error. He was nominated, but did not win. We're correcting now.

That will be a good movie? How he covered up the downing of Flight 800 and how he takes credit for averting the Millenium bombing because of an alert border guard. Or how they trashed Richard Jewell to ensure there was not a Middle East connection at the Atlanta bombing? Forgetting anything?

Clarke's book was fantastic and I imagine the movie will be as well. And talk of Penn being a traitor is nonsense, dammit, the guy was right! It's hard for you bozos to admit it but Penn was right all along. It was a profoundly tragic mistake to invade Iraq. It's hard to admit one is wrong but in this case, you are!

Particularly I'd like the movie to focus on "Operation Northwoods" and the Norad war games on 911.

Correct! Actors should act, not think they are politicians. You know, like Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fred Thompson and the others.
