    nothing but the truth

    This is a totally engaging film about government abuse of power and a woman's amazingly strong character. You must go into this flick without caring about Pres Bush's Admin outing otf the Valerie Plane because it is not really related to this plot. That might make another good movie but this one is great as it is. Just different! The presentation with it's camera angles and editing brings you right in to the characters lives. Enjoy!

    Not worth a child's inocence

    I did try to really feel for Kate B's character and side with her however as the story unfolded I realized that she actually caused more harm than good. She not only ruined other people's lives but she ruined her own as well as her relationship with her son. The ending was outstanding but it did nothing but confirm my feelings about Kate B's character as a selfish reporter that would go to any length to get the story even if it meant using information given innocently by a child who trusted her.
    Nowadays the press is full of Kate B's character. She got what she deserved.
