It's Christmas. The day we reflect on why we have to go to church when the Jewish kids get presents and a day at the movies. So unfair. Anyway here's a news movie you might check out today. It is a "retelling" of the Valerie Plame affair, with one small twist:... the trigger is a would-be presidential assassination that, blamed on Venezuela, precipitates a U.S. attack on Caracas. After secret agent Erica Van Doren apparently leaks the information that the Venezuelan connection is bogus, journalist Rachel Armstrong scoops the world by identifying Van Doren as a spook.
I know, I know, like a reporter would call out the Bush administration for making up crazy shit about Venezuela. But suspend disbelief for just a sec, guys, it's a movie. And Christmas. Who plays Simon Romero is what I want to know.

Figlios delle puttane! It figures that some Italian fascist would be making shit up. After all, they weren't required to "de-fascistize" after WWII. Most politically stable nation in Europe, too. Snort.

There is already a story out there about Vzla and Iran shipping arms to Syria via secret planes. The Italian newspaper La Stampa is the source of the story, picked up by Spain's El Mundo. The Italians made up the shit about the Niger Uranium stuff, and El Mundo is still spinning conspiracy theories about the Madrid 11 March bombings.
