I'm surprised that your analogy did not occur to me. I don't disagree with anything you said but had a completely different take on the movie. Several times I found the militant propaganda to be so overt that it broke my suspension of disbelief. I wrote down my initial reactions the next day. My initial list of analogys is below: Sonar imaging computer – Domestic Surveillance, FISA, Warrant-less wiretap Two face death coverup – Pat Tillman Death Cover up, the need to preserve the image of a hero Fall Guy Hero Harvey Dent – Scotter Libby taking the fall, Paul Wolfowitz taking the fall and later getting a medal Parable about mad jewel thief and burning down the forest – collateral damage, dropping a bomb to get one guy People can’t be trusted with all the information – Sex Ed, Drug Ed Mad men cannot be reasoned with -
Sonar imaging computer – Domestic Surveillance, FISA, Warrant-less wiretap


Two face death coverup – Pat Tillman Death Cover up, the need to preserve the image of a hero



Fall Guy Hero Harvey Dent – Scotter Libby taking the fall, Paul Wolfowitz taking the fall and later getting a medal

Parable about mad jewel thief and burning down the forest – collateral damage, dropping a bomb to get one guy

People can’t be trusted with all the information – Sex Ed, Drug Ed


Mad men cannot be reasoned with -]]>
