Why Am I Not Surprised

The first movie about 9/11 is on the way, and who's going to direct it? None other than conspiracy monger extraordinaire Oliver Stone. Arthur Chrenkoff has a good roundup of blogger reactions. Personally, I think Instapundit comes up with the best take:

But hey, the inevitable scene of Jewish office workers staying home will be well received in some other parts of the world. . . .


My own reaction is similar. Theoretically, the movie is supposed to be about the rescue of two Port Authority officers from Ground Zero. You would think that this story would be hard to turn into a bizarre, overwrought vehicle for infantile conspiracy theories. I have full confidence, though, that Oliver Stone will find a way to do it.
