All the more reason to see these movies again

Warning to those who've never seen "Our Man in Havana"- plot spoilers follow:

Larry I,

The connection you make between the atomic vacuum sketches in "Our Man in Havana" and the contrived WMD evidence in Iraq is brilliant- it nicely demonstrates the way truth is manipulated to support previously derived intentions of the powerful. George Bush Sr. once said, "I'll never apologize for the United States. Ever. I don't care what the facts are," and in "Our Man", Guiness is completely unapologetic for his deceptions to earn the money to give his daughter a pony. He only fears discovery- but is eventually rewarded for his duplicity while the innocent pilot he named had been murdered, his friend (Burl Ives) was murdered, and Guiness murders the agent after him after nearly being poisoned himself. This is indeed as about as dark as humour goes, and all the darker because of the resemblence to current reality- 50 years after.

All the more reason to see "Our Man" and reflect.

Cheers,

Bambi B
