...brushed off any inquiries. "To be honest," Marine Captain Jeff Pool e-mailed McGirk, "I cannot believe you're buying any of this. This falls into the same category of AQI (al-Qaeda in Iraq) propaganda." In late January, TIME gave a copy of the videotape to Colonel Barry Johnson, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad. After reviewing it, he recommended a formal investigation. The ensuing probe, conducted by a colonel, concluded that Marines, not a bomb, killed the civilians but that the deaths were the result of "collateral damage," not deliberate homicide. Nevertheless, after reviewing the initial probe, senior...
...Other Presidents have made similar miscalculations. Presidents Kennedy and Johnson both pointed to democratization in South Vietnam as a hopeful sign that the North might be sapped of its support. Perhaps now that the last milestone has been reached, the Bush Administration can get back to reality...
...shall say no more because, in the 2hr.40min. version shown at Cannes, Southland Tales felt not only unfinished but unformed. After his imposing directorial debut with Donnie Darko in 2001, Kelly secured financing (mostly from German sources) for a much larger budget film, with some big-name stars: Dwyane Johnson, aka The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) and Seann William Scott (Stiffler in the American Pie farces, here in a more serious role).

Green II, who raised $50,000 while in high school to study kidney stones, spoke about his childhood in a dangerous section of Opelousas, La. Miles A. Johnson ’08, a social studies concentrator, spoke of going to Cuba on a high school academic program—an experience that transformed his views on race relations. In Cuba, he said, “there’s no sharp division” between blacks and whites...
...Kinnear's Don is so wide-eyed in his early naivete, he might be a calf sauntering unawares toward the stun gun; once he sees the ugly light, he disappears from the film. The teenage Amber (Ashley Johnson), who grows from a Mickey's countergirl to an animal-rights activist, is just another couple of chapter headings for the charnel issues being raised. Same with Sylvia (Maria Full of Grace's Catalina Sandino Moreno), one of the horribly exploited immigrants. Even someone (like me) who might agree with every political point in the film will get exasperated with the obviousness...
