Charlie Wilson's War

The movie looked good, always loved Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, win-win, and a good story. The book has so much information, shocking really. Amazing power in Washington, especially if you have an agenda and Charlie Wilson did. He hated communism and he found others like-minded to help with his crusade. Now, my question is, how does a covert operation become a best seller? What is the statue of limitations per se, when does private become public, and does it happen too fast in our world today? 1985 seems like yesterday to me, some of the same charcters are still alive and maybe potentially powerful, is it a good idea to share this with the world? I'm not going to use this information to hurt anyone, but can this hurt people, the USA and how we are perceived around the world? I always hate to think that foreigners are watching Jerry Springer and thinking, that is America. Will they watch this movie and think, that is US Congress? Interesting yes, entertaining yes, helpful, I don't know. I don't like the ending of the movie where there has to be a Hollywood ethic lesson. Anyone else agree or disagree? Tell me.
