"Frank Truth" you obviously feel the need to hide behind a pseudonym even when expressing a myopic, quasi-nationalist sentiment that many of your own countrymen doubtless agree with. There is no risk to your life and/or liberty, or that of those you know and love, yet still you wish to remain anonymous.
Now consider the situation faced by active members of the Iraqi resistance. If their faces and names were shown they would be hunted down and killed, quite possibly along with their friends and families.
The point you seem to have missed is, just as people like you and I would take up arms against the troops of a foreign country that invaded the streets of Washington or London, so in exactly the same way do Iraqi citizens resist the occupation of their country by foreign invaders. THAT IS THE POINT OF THE FILM. It is not designed to "bring these people to justice" - there are THOUSANDS of people in Iraq likewise engaged in armed resistance to foreign occupation - it is designed to make people pay attention to the simple fact that citizens of any country will take up arms to resist invasion and occupation, and that people like yourself are not thinking straight when you instantly dismiss these actions.
Think about what YOU would do if Iraq invaded YOUR country.
Think about what the North Vietnamese did when the USA invaded THEIR country.
Think about what the French Resistance did when Hitler invaded THEIR country (N.b I am NOT comparing Bush to Hitler.)
Think about what General Washington and his men did when the British oppressed THEIR country.
And think BEFORE you write incoherent nonsense like this:
"So, as they sat there and watched these people make explosives, knowing full well who they were intended for.....they didn't bother to try and stop them or to throw them to the ground or alarm anyone in the military that they have found people who want to kill us?"
a) They try and stop them = they get killed.
b) They "throw them to the ground"(!) = they get killed.
c) They alert the military = they get no more sources for their film and quite possibly they get killed by other resistance fighters.
You seem to have no concept of the journalist's mission: to report the TRUTH, not to snitch on either side.
I think perhaps you should take a trip to Iraq and see what's really going on; maybe on the plane you could read a book about history, journalism, or the situation in Iraq? - all subjects which you seem wholly ignorant of.
