...Iraq war have dissipated. Instead, Rice will find European publics and politicians full of fresh anger about how the U.S. is conducting the war on terror: not just old complaints about Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, but new ones about cia "black sites" in Europe that allegedly house secret prisoners, and an active program of shuttling captured terrorist suspects around using European airports. Some European countries are investigating exactly what the U.S. has been up to on their territory. E.U. officials are threatening dire punishments for any country that has abetted Washington.

I am afraid of what we would find if we opened up the can of worms that...
...this is why Munich works so well -- the movie is not primarily about that Munich. It is about the aftermath, in which the Israeli government, with Prime Minister Golda Meir's full endorsement, mounted a secret war of revenge against the murderers. In one of the movie's most crucial lines, she says, "Every civilization finds it necessary to negotiate compromises with its own values." That negotiation--also carried out in the increasingly troubled mind of Avner Kauffman, leader of the Israeli hit squad on which the movie concentrates (there were several)--raises Spielberg's film above the thriller level...
