Go See It

I just went to see Control Room. It's a documentary following people from Al Jazeera from March to May (or thereabouts) at CentCom during the Iraq War. (Or at least during the part before we declared victory.)

Until hearing about the movie I didn't really have any way to rebut the notion that Al Jazeera is a mouthpiece for Osama Bin Laden. After seeing the movie I gained a huge respect for the people that work there and for their point of view. You really see that they are just journalists with a point of view, not really an agenda.

Whether you were for or against the war, it's a good movie to see. It really brings out a different perspective. Go see it.
