[malaise]

Now

[Bjornsdotter]

1. Thanks for the heads up! n/t

[applegrove]

4. Yes... what is the issue?

[malaise]

5. The CIA movie

The Good Shepherd

http://movies.about.com/od/jolieangelina/a/shepherd013105.htm

They also have intersting veiws on Bushco's illegal invasion of Iraq.

[applegrove]

10. Okay. They''ll be on Larry King tonight. I'll catch them there.

[treestar]

2. These two seem to be partners on this issue

How did that come about?

[WI_DEM]

3. what issue?

[cool user name]

6. Milton Bearden is a moron!

Why did he leave out the fact that we provoked the Soviets into invading Afghanistan?

[manic expression]

11. I was about to say the same thing

Either he knows nothing about history or he's just lying. The CIA did indeed provoke the Soviets in Afghanistan.

I can't believe people can spew pure BS on TV like that and get away with it. Typical.

[cool user name]

15. And Chris Matthews let him get away with it.

Now all those college kids are going to come away thinking we had no responsibility to the destruction of a secular government in Afghanistan or cultivating a global network of fanatical terrorists, first to rid the Soviet Occupation that was provoked by us (just google Brezenski) in the first place.

Fucking media! :eyes:

[Cha]

7. COOL! What a duo

for us!

[malaise]

9. I'm going to see this movie

Waterboarding - images of Iraq.

[babylonsister]

8. This movie looks great, especially with DeNiro's and Damon's

liberal mindsets.

[tridim]

12. Wow, DiNiro is so shy..

I guess that makes sense since he's kind of mysterious guy, but I never really thought about it because I don't think I've ever seen him on a talk show.

[wicket]

13. Matt Damon just now re: Cheney

"I'd like to see him under oath."

:rofl: :rofl: I love it.

Also, Tweety agreed with him.

[Cameron27]

14. He's not pulling any punches,lol

[cool user name]

17. I saw that!!!

That was great.

Then Chris asked him why historically, man has used torture. I don't fault Matt Damon for not knowing the answer but here's my take.

We all know that torture is impractical (as Matt Damon stated). However, people don't realize that torture, historically, is something that is used to control, it's components are sadism and ruthlessness. It has nothing to do with practicality. That's my take on it, at least.

[wicket]

25. I agree with you completely

Torture has no place in a civil society.

16. Matt Damon RAAaaawwwwkkkkkssssss! Oui, Bebe!

This is the first time I have heard his political rap - Damn!

[mattclearing]

26. You must have missed Good Will Hunting, then.

"Affleck and Damon" wrote it, but the best parts of the movie seem to be all Damon (clearly the brains of the pair), particularly when he tells Robin Williams he has all the wrong books, and should have Zinn's People's History (Word.), and the long rant about why he doesn't want to number crunch for the NSA.

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

18. Damon presses the case!

This kid has No Fear! Wow! "There's a mountain of evidence for this time. I didn't brush up on anything that wasn't declassified"

[tridim]

19. I'm not going to say Damon for President, but

he should definitely run for office sometime in the future. He's a smart cookie.

[KoKo]

24. Why not....He should join in....who knows where it could all come out...Remember

Reagan..."the actor." He was a two-termer. His memory lives...best thing since "sliced white bread."

Let everyone run...let it all be seen...Let the best Person Win...but given the "corruption" it will be "Let the best GOP'er Win." So we Dems can sit and wait for the "White Knight" once more to bail us out.

Maybe we are looking in the wrong places? Who knows...I sure the hell don't, anymore. :-(

[melissinha]

20. You guys are surprised? Affleck is a known liberal and they're BFs

I'm not surprised at all, remember Ben Affleck was very pro Gore and Kerry.

[malaise]

21. That's why you got the heads up

We knew this would be great.

[melissinha]

22. point taken, you expect this from him enough

but people still seem to be surprised

[malaise]

23. Repeat on now n/t
