...would have regretted it a few shots later, as the erratic zooms, flips, wobbles, and generally nauseating angles would have caused me to regurgitate my breakfast. In a shallow movie that provokes only two questions—“What?” and then, “Dear God, why?”—it’s a surprise that the camerawork, which espouses the philosophy that the more the camera shakes, the more action must be happening, is the work of Academy Award-winning cinematographer Dean Semler (he won for 1991?...
...spacecraft is a metaphor of national inspiration: majestic, technologically advanced, produced at dear cost and entrusted with precious cargo, rising above the constraints of the earth. The spacecraft carries our secret hope that there is something better out there--a world where we may someday go and leave the sorrows of the past behind.

Actually, it is the rule of law, and all the values Americans hold dear, that is the casualty of crude and thuggish illogic like that. Who says al-Qahtani is a terrorist or a fanatic bent on mass murder? He has never been charged with or tried for any crime. He is legally innocent until proved guilty. Anyone who scoffs at that does not take seriously bedrock constitutional principles. Bryan...
