On January 11th, 11 years to the day after the Bush administration opened its notorious prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Zero Dark Thirty,
Kathryn Bigelow’s deeply flawed movie about the hunt for Osama bin
Laden, opens nationwide. The filmmakers and distributors are evidently
ignorant of the significance of the date -- a perfect indication of the
carelessness and thoughtlessness of the film, which will unfortunately
substitute for actual history in the minds of many Americans.
