Did I Hear You Correctly?

David Edelstein starts his review of Syriana stating the Bush Administration is trying to demonize all opposition to its policies in the Middle East. Given this "climate," Edelstein calls it a "miracle" that a movie suggesting the Bush people might be wrong--i.e., that the whole situation is very complex and that America is as much at fault as any other player--could be released by a major Hollywood studio right now.

I've often disagreed with Edelstein's politics, but up until now I've never thought he was stupid.
