After thirty minutes of him reading his lines the camera lens gets foggy. He's a fearmonger; giants are all over the beaches, and the skies are falling. He profits by promoting the war on terror.

Nods and understanding all around...another great victory for the Age of Counterintuition. Just today, the uber-sophist Mr. Brooks writing in the NY Times that "the people" are generally happy and satisfied with their individual lives but disgusted by government. This may be true but he ended on a real stinker , true to form, asserting that the people just want their government to "defend them". Let us now bow our weary heads in honor of the pursuit of defendyness. Gee, what ever happened to the good old american pastime of simply wanting to be left the hell alone in the peace and quiet of one's productive pursuits? Oh, I forgot, the Terrorists hate us because we're free. How many billion bucks did the CIA announce they spent on terrorist intelligence this year? To each person shall go a protective suit of armor consisting of 100 cubic feet of redacted intelligence files. Onward Christian Filers. Thats rich…..the security guard lying , “during a time of patriotism”.

Come to think of it, they don't even need to be asked. For crying out loud, since when has behaving like a frightened child in need of the protective "parental guidance" of government become a sign of both maturity and patriotism? Alpowolf, The Galaxy Quest analogy is a good one. As entertaining and clever as the movie was, it's a shame that it didn't do better at the box office. The movies that deserve sequels never seem to get them.

They remind me of that <i>Star Trek</i> spoof that Tim Allen (<i>Galaxy Quest</i>, I think), where the space people believed that the TV show was a "documentary".

Newsday columnist Ellis Henican noted that the hotel security guard “was aided and abetted in his recklessness by FBI agents and federal prosecutors—sloppy at best, incompetent or uncaring at worst. And just plain wrong. . . . They were so eager to make a high-profile terror arrest, they didn’t only accept the lie of a hotel security guard. They embellished it. They confirmed it. They carried it into court.” After Higazy’s interrogation, “federal agents were whispering to reporters that Higazy had confessed. At first, they’d said, he’d tried to weasel. He’d contradicted himself, the way that criminals often do.
