If I'm going to succumb to that occupational hazard of movie reviewing - the noddies - it's most likely to occur in the hottest and highest-action sequences. I know this is counterintuitive.

Showcasing sensational evidence of the 9/11 conspiracy will not only assist the trial and possible execution of its alleged perpetrators, it will bolster the Administration's approach to its continuing "global war on terror." Although few observers expect the latest court deadline to be met, prosecutors say they will be ready to start the trial on September 18, close to the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks - and also...
