Oy. Talk about missing the forest for the trees. Writer-Director Rod Lurie (who also made The Contender) is making Nothing But The Truth for the BBC, inspired by "brave" Judith Miller and the need for federal shield laws for journalists and other whistleblowers.

Um, guys??? Could we possibly hold up truly brave journalists like Reda Hilal, who has been "disappeared" for years now for his brave and truthful journalism in the Middle East instead of someone who went to jail rather than give up her treasonous leaking sources and who would bully her editors into running false information?

Nothing but the truth from Judith Miller? Not hardly. It's disgusting how quickly history is being revised.
