World Trade Center: Facts Be Damned!

The only reason I normally stop by Slate is to check out what Mickey Kaus has to say.  I'm goad on this occasion that I clicked over to this article.

I've heard this a couple of times now and still find it almost extraordinary.  The claim that Oliver Stone actually made "World Trade Center" less dramatic.  I was just reading this piece in Slate written by Rebecca Liss wherein she recounts some of the actual details she encountered interviewing those insanely brave men who risked their lives for complete strangers.  Moreover, she notes that Stone and Co. downplay the rather salient fact that those men were not the elite rescue units.

Read it.
