Happy Birthday, Freedom of Information Act! Forty years old today.
Having just watched Syriana, which purports to show how the world really works, I can say I fully endorse the headline of Jimmy Carter’s commentary: We Need Fewer Secrets.
And having rented The Syrian Bride by mistake—it was the only DVD box on the Syriana shelf and I didn’t look at the spine label*—I can recommend that as the more enlightening, more interesting movie with “Syria” in the title.
