Heart of Obfuscation Brian Helgeland's script is "inspired" by Rajiv Chandrasekaran's 2006 book, Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone. In it, the Washington Post reporter detailed the arrogance and naiveté of the young zealots the Bush Administration sent to pacify Iraq: how they frolicked beside Green Zone swimming pools as if Baghdad were spring-break Fort Lauderdale, handed out tens of millions in cash to American and Iraqi connivers and blithely mismanaged the occupation into chaos...
...from the middle of Green Zone on, when Miller starts proving that only one good man is needed to corral war criminals of every stripe. He'll be Bourne plus Philip Marlowe plus Seymour Hersh - provided he makes it out alive. The movie, in other words, is made up; Chandrasekaran's book has as much to do with Green Zone as a history of Las Vegas does with The Hangover...
...glance at the travel itinerary of Natarajan Chandrasekaran will tell you just how dramatically the postrecession economy is changing.

TCS discovered that its expansion has opened up new opportunities to lure business from international clients. After struggling to convince Spanish companies to outsource to India, TCS found them much more comfortable outsourcing to the firm's staff in Spanish-speaking Latin America. Business is coming from local companies...
...threat of a writers' strike doesn't prevent it, Team Damongrass will collaborate later this year on a project that calls for more brain than brawn: Imperial Life in the Emerald City, based on the book by the Washington Post's former Baghdad bureau chief Rajiv Chandrasekaran about the chaos in U.S.-occupied Iraq. The hot-button political subject suits the preppy New Englander, 36, and scruffy Brit, 51, whose commitment to residing in the uncomfortable world of real life is reflected in a Bourne Ultimatum scene with a black-hooded CIA prisoner that is obviously intended to conjure...
