Alex said on Friday, December 28, 2012 1:35:40 PM I'm with Glenn Greenwald on this one: by declaring her film a work of journalism, Bigelow has an obligation to report the facts, rather than insinuating that torture aided in the assassination of OBL. I don't buy it. As someone who tends to agree with the Tomatometer at least 90% of the time, I can't condone this, nor can I condone "The Hurt Locker", "United 93", or other such propaganda films that attempt to paint themselves as nothing but the truth.
