MORE ON "MUNICH"

George Jonas, author of the book, "Vengeance" upon which Steven Spielberg's "Munich" is based, has this to say about the film (hat tip: Sandy D.):

"Spielberg's "Munich" follows the letter of my book closely enough. The spirit is almost the opposite. "Vengeance" holds there is a difference between terrorism and counterterrorism; "Munich" suggests there isn't. The book has no trouble telling an act of war from a war crime; the film finds it difficult. Spielberg's movie worries about the moral trap of resisting terror; my book worries about the moral trap of not resisting it."
