Fundamentalist Arabs do have the skill, the means, and the motivation to attack the U.S.
and Israel with such devestation. Clancy knew that when he wrote it and
Paramount sold him out.


I'm sorry I can't give you a link to a transcript, but I heard Clancy on the radio
soon (within a week?) on radio after 9-11.
And at that time he related that the villans had been changed to Neo-Nazis...and that
Ben Affleck was taking over the Harrison Ford slot.

I nearly puked.

Otherwise Clancy gave a good interview and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt...
he's probably under contractual obligation to not dis the film or it's lame
"star", otherwise he probably could be sued by Paramount for a gazillion dollars.

He probably never imagined that such damage would be done to his work.

I saw the trailer when I saw "We Were Soldiers" on opening day.
I WON'T be seeing the flick. Just like I didn't see "Pearl Harbor"...as I realized
it was IMPOSSIBLE to tell the whole story of what happened there without at least
an "R" rating for what happened.
