Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) says the film “Zero Dark Thirty” is a combination of “fact, fiction and Hollywood” that dangerously links the use of torture with the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Feinstein and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Carl Levin (D-Mich.) are sending a letter to Sony Pictures, the film studio distributing the Oscar contender, to make their complaints known.
“I thought it was terrible,” said Feinstein, one of a handful of lawmakers to see the film ahead of its limited release this week. “It is a combination of fact, fiction and Hollywood in a very dangerous combination.”
McCain, who was tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, said Tuesday that he was “sickened” by the film when he saw it, according to The Associated Press, saying the filmmakers fell hook, line and sinker for the torture storyline.
“Zero Dark Thirty,” which has already been named the film of the year by the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Board of Review, opens with an extended waterboarding scene.

bin Laden DIED in 2001 from Marfan’s syndrome, as reported AROUND THE WORLD except in the USA.
Right on, but Obama needed a significant photo op, to take the focus off of the hearing that was to take place the next day in California so the Administration made this puke Obama into a warrior hero. This is the same terd that allowed four American’s to be raped and murdered, then again, him having belonged to the Down Low Club, he knows what homosexual penetration is all about.
When are we going to get this sick perverted mo-fo out of office?
With the mess we’re in now in the US and politicians spend time arguing over a dumb movie just blows my mind!
If they would spend less time covering up for their leading terroist maybe they could get something done!
Our whole government is just totally worthless. What a bunch of evil,greedy,arrogant,despicable losers!
Senator McCain, needs to head to Sedona and watch the sun rise and set. He was a lousy A-4 pilot that got shot down over Vietnam and because he was a lousy pilot he became a Senator and milked the American people for the past twenty-five years and gave them the NDAA in return. He is a RINO and needs to be put out to pasture, the sooner the better.
So McCain, is a hero traitor? Intercourse him…he’s trying to skirt the 4th Amendment through legislation and breaking his oath to uphold the Constitution/Bill of Rights…so he’s a traitor. What he did doesn’t matter to me; it’s what he’s doing now. Nuff said.
i just don’t get why people have such a bug up their asses about water boarding, i have had it done to me an if one keeps a strong head about ones self it ain’t that bad.Sure it feels like you are drowning, but if you remember that their not trying to kill you, its simple mind over matter.
