...America. In 90 minutes, Director-Writer Irv Drasnin, a journalist for 15 years but not a hunter, compiled carnage upon atrocity.

Personally I lost a lot of Faith when the U.S. Department of Justice lost all of its conspiracy trials against those radicals who were threatening the National Security.
