*"..Green Zone*, directed by Paul Greengrass who also made *Bloody Sunday*and *United 93*, transports us back in time to the heady days when the neoconservatives still had their swagger and Bush was putting the finishing touches on his "Mission Accomplished" speech..."
"..It doesn't take long for Miller to stumble into the behind-the-scenes struggle between Pentagon intelligence official Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear) and grizzled CIA veteran Martin Brown (Brendan Gleeson), which is a rough analogue of the real-world schism in post-invasion Iraq between the neoconservatives at the Pentagon and the "realists" at the CIA..." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - BASED ON the book *Imperial Life in the Emerald City* by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, the *Washington Post*'s former Baghdad bureau chief, *Green Zone* artfully fictionalizes while remaining faithful to the facts, peering into the dark recesses of the American war effort. "..In the end, *Green Zone* is a compelling film, and even if it doesn't make any groundbreaking contributions to the action-thriller genre, it is refreshing to see an alternative to the tired Hollywood formula of U.S. spies, soldiers and pilots "keeping us safe" by killing droves of evil Arab terrorists. As *Green Zone* shows, the people of Iraq are the ones who have been terrorized." http://socialistworker.org/2010/03/25/liars-inside-the-green-zone You cannot build anything on the foundations of caste.

Anything that you will build on the foundations of caste will crack and will never be a whole. -AMBEDKAR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
