I have not yet seen this film

While I have not yet seen this movie, I will at my first opportunity. All of the negative comments are noteworthy. Insomuch as they not only show love of country, but at best suspicion and at worst hatred of our European allies. They might be reminded to read about the French resistance during WW2. What is needed in this struggle against terrorism is a united front, not a "my way or the highway" mentality. It is a cowboy attitude, such as is espoused here from time to time, that caused the fall of our last great nemesis, the Eastern Block and soviet Russia. Thank you for this opportunity to post on IMDb. Thank you to ALL who posted their comments, both pro and con regarding this new documentary.
