"Charlie Wilson's War" is said to be based on fact, and I have no reason to doubt that. It stars Tom Hanks as Rep. Charles Wilson, a swinging, hard-drinking, coke-using liberal Democrat from Texas who more or less single-handedly defeated the Russians in Afghanistan. Yes. The Soviets withdrew in 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, the Cold War was over, and Ronald Reagan got all the credit. How could Wilson's operation have taken place without anyone knowing? If Ollie North's activities could, why not these?So, in other words, if Ollie North's exploits were real so were Wilson's. No proof, no documentation just tie it to North and you're good.
They never disappoint in their never-ending re-creation of reality, do they?
If SOMEONE's activities happened without anyone knowing, then POOF! these ones did, too!
That's some logic!
