Aside from Collin Powell's address to the UN Security Council, my most vivid memory of the period prior to the Iraq invasion was the Judith Miller interview on CNN with Larry King.

But it took a throttling from a fellow director, Oliver Stone, to really drive the point home. Mr. Stone was working with Josh Brolin on a California soundstage this spring, testing the makeup Mr....
