Also, its a pit...Yes it is a pity it took so long. Also, its a pity the US government can't or won't act more forcefully to represent its position. <br /><br />This article debunking "Fair Game" will only be in the public very briefly and it will quickly lose any traction. At most, it will temporarily reach an audience of few hundred thousand. Even at that it will quickly fade from public view. <br /><br />The movie "Fair Game" will be broadcast world wide. It will be taught in classrooms both in high school and universities for years to come. This will be done on a world wide basis. It will reach an audience of at least 4 billion people over the next few years. The publicity it will get will far exceed the article debunking it. <br /><br />As such, while the article is nice, it is virtually useless and may have negative utility. The promoters of "Fair Game" will charge the publishers of this article as being agents of the US government. <br /><br />In summary, the US simply must do a better job of getting its point of view out. Until this changes, to use borrow an expression we are pretty much "dead in the water."B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
