Similarly, there is an attack on the Bush administration that seems less organic to the structure of the film than an attempt to associate the narrative to broader anti-Bush anger. The links drawn between the president and Enron are interesting, but the accusation that Bush let Enron plunder California to bring down Gray Davis seems controversial for controversy’s sake, particularly in light of the slim evidence used for proof. Many scenes smack of afterthought, as if the filmmakers realized they needed to liven up some of the more tedious stretches with political controversy, random shots...
...sunshine. Popular Democratic bloggers continue posting only the negative stories out of Iraq. And just last week, a spokesperson for Moveon.org again condemned “the senseless number of Iraqi deaths that this war and instability has caused.” Once-idealistic liberals now poison their anti-Bush stew with what used to be heartlessly Republican foreign policy ideas: dictatorial “stability” over democratic turbulence, and “sovereignty” over human rights...

They are presented as career men and women devoted to government service and outraged that Bush?s people could twist the facts to fit a pre-conceived scheme. My only problem with it: these very reasonable, judicious folks from the State Department and the CIA are the same breed - sometimes the same people - who helped bungle U.S. policy...
