Fair Game
Everyone in America with a brain, heart, or both should see "Fair Game." All three members of my family (wife, adult son, 23) walked out with a feeling of total disgust and outrage at how key figures in the GW Bush White House - Cheney, Rove, Libby -intentionally manipulated and contorted the truth and public understanding of the reasons for the US invasion of Iraq. I am a career attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice who worked for every U.S. President from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. I cannot understand why all White House individuals involved, not just Libby, were not charged with serious violations of federal criminal law for deliberately, unconscionably exposing Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative. Regardless of whether or not one shares my view of the incident, the movie was completely captivating. The story unfolded as a fascinating parallel tale of Plame's and Wilson's work for the US Government and the tension/pressure of a modern marriage. Please see it!
