So what if it's fiction?
Zero Dark Thirty is factually inaccurate
Hey, who cares if it's based on bullshit? 'Apocalypse Now' was fiction too, but it was still a great movie. The Bush/Cheney war crimes policy of torture didn't have anything to do with taking down Osama bin Laden and that's why Bush failed so miserably and why it took the Obama administration to do the job.
The Bush regime's needless diversion into Iraq, their utter incompetence and their fear and gutlessness of upsetting their Pakistani buddies is why they failed so miserably and a Hollywood movie based on fiction will never change those historical facts.
UPDATE:And if you need any more proof that Zero Dark Thirty is fiction, just ask the the CIA.
