They talked at length about Argo, and the inaccuracies mainly around the short shrift given to Canadian support of the stranded embassy workers. This quote in particular stands out:

Charlie Rose: "I'm struck that you say the Canadian government could have done this (extradition) and it would not have been as far-fetched as the ruse that they used by creating a movie team that came into Tehran."

Stupidity is NOT a victimless crime.
- It is what happened. Canada bore more responsibility for the survival of those Americans than the film showed - Jazz Inmate 09:13:16 01/14/13 (1)
  The ambassador had no reason to lie. He said the film didn't show the full extent of Canada's work to keep those Americans safe. You might want to listen to an actual expert instead of worship at the altar of hollywood and fawning over a silly article.

  - You're the one who made a point of highlighting the quote - sjb 11:48:43 01/17/13 (0)
    about how Canada COULD have gotten them out... and with a less outrageous cover story.
    
    So, again. Shoulda, coulda woulda. That's not what happened.
