Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) says the film “Zero Dark Thirty” is a combination of “fact, fiction and Hollywood” that dangerously links the use of torture with the killing of Osama bin Laden.

We're it not for mention of the movie's title, I thought these mental midgets (oops politically incorrect...cue up my apology) were describing Washington politics! Please tell me they mave nothing better to do than play Siskel and Ebert. Uuhhh...folks, that why its called a movie. I guess they were stunned by being bitten by their own dog in the form of Hollyweird. The reasoning of this genius in MD is particularly telling. A movie that depicts the effectiveness of enhanced interrogation techniques apparently sullies our international reputation. So, he and the rest are worried about that and try to redeem it by falsely claiming that they didn't work! Do they listen to what they say?

So was “An Inconvenient Truth” (there are factories and hurricanes, but not global warming) but these same senators didn’t seem too upset then.

Senator Feinstein (D-Calif.) is dangerous to the First and Second Amendments to the US Constitution she swore to uphold.

Now that the movie is out, we know the real reason its release was delayed until after the election. The Right were hoodwinked into thinking it would be too favorable to Obama, and made medium level noises against its earlier release, thinking it would help propel him to a second term. In fact, although I haven’t yet seen it, from the noises being made it appears that the movie may actually be a more realistic depiction than either side first thought.

I was initially led to believe that it would be a propaganda tool for the administration, so I vowed not to contribute to the cause. But now, after several conservatives have had positive things to say, the movie is on my “must watch” list.

Before the guns are taken from the people, all the security at every federal building, including Senator Feinstein’s, should be removed. If the people aren’t protected by arms, neither should be the aristocrats.

I started hearing this from my libtard friends a while back: “I want to see Zero Dark Thirty even though it’s full of lies about torture helping us get bin Laden”. Idiots.

I bet DiFi would last about 15 seconds of waterboarding before she spilled her guts on every crime she has every committed, which is why she doesn’t want it to be used.
