When they get to define ID, they get to knock it around any way they want. I have no doubt that there are well-organized groups that want to discredit the movie or any aspect of ID. I have no doubts there are websites eager to destroy Ben Stein for asking questions that Darwinists cant' answer. I didn't need a link from TEN, and I wouldn't follow it anyway. His attempts to "prove" there is no God is just a futile as anyone's attempts to "prove" that God exists. But there are interesting questions that Darwinism cannot and does not answer. ID doesn't either, but a least they're not pretending they have all the answers like some microbiologists would have you believe. Ben Stein didn't just interview those interested in ID. He also interviewed those adamantly opposed to ID. You may want to see what they have to say, too. I found many of them to be condescending and arrogant. I was also intrigued by Richard Dawkins' speculation about how life formed. Oddly enough, it could easily fall into the definition of ID. ID isn't necessarily creationism, although I will concede that some fundamentalists abuse it as an attempt to prove the existence of God, or that evolution didn't occur. "Expelled" isn't about those nutcases. It's more about scientists clinging to an inadequate theory (Darwinism), and just how nasty they can get in defending that theory.
