No you are not. First, Christopher Hitchens is no liberal and your statement that he is simply shows your ignorance. Anyone who follows politics knows he is a conservative. And notice how Hitchens, like other conservatives who attack this movie, talks in generalities and not specifics. He says "A film that bases itself on a big lie and a big misrepresentation can only sustain itself by a dizzying succession of smaller falsehoods, beefed up by wilder and (if possible) yet more-contradictory claims". Yet in the entire article article he cannot come up with specifics of those supposed faslehoods and big lies. The other article by Isikoff can only manage to come up with a few minor mistakes of detail, not substance. For example, that the members of the bin Laden family were flown out right after the airspace restrictions were lifted instead of the day before. So what? The point is that they were allowed to leave with minimal scrutiny. Or that Poppy Bush is no longer affiliated with the Carlyle group. Geez, everyone knows the the Bushes are tight with the movers and shakers in the military industrial complex, which not coincidentaly is making hundreds of billions of dollars off this Iraq mess. From the defense contractors to Haliburton, you need only look at where their political contributions go.
You can bet that this film has been examined from top to bottom for errors by conservatives hoping to discredit it in any way they can, and minor stuff like this is the best they can come up with?
