Did anyone watch Stephen Gaghan on Charlie Rose...

[hwmnbn]

last night? He is the screenwriter for the movie Syriana and he also wrote the screenplay for traffic.

He described the amazing tale about how the Syriana movie was researched and made. He spent time with the actual ex-CIA man, Robert Baer, on whom the George Clooney character is based.

He touched upon the shadowy world of oil and gun merchants, politicians, terrorists, coup d' etats, and media. It was riveting listening to some of the incidents he described.

He also made some good political points about the lack of transparency in our government and what the ramifications of our current policies are to the rest of the world.

I am going to see the movie today and hopefully tape the re-broadcast of the interview. I just wondered was anybody else blown away like I was?
