Basically preaching to the choir, of course. But that doesn't mean that the sermon isn't one that needs to be heard.

Needs to be seen.

It should also be required viewing for thoughtful hawks; Greenwald's restrained approach won't insult their intelligence, and will give them plenty to chew over.

Any person voting in this year's presidential election owes it to America's future to see this film.
