This may seem like an obvious idea when the Pentagon seems so involved in every aspect of American life right now. Since Sept. 11 its warplanes have been patrolling U.S. skies, and thousands of military troops have been guarding U.S. airports and key bridges, ports and dams.

In Sean Penn’s recent movie The Pledge, Robin Wright Penn was digitally given a gap tooth in post-production. Every move, every twitch, is perfectly calculated. No longer do actors interact with the special effects—they are the special effects...
