Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center: a crude and dishonest work

Check out this statement made by Oliver Stone in October 2001:

In the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks, Stone had a more “left” take on the events. On October 6, 2001, at a New York Film Festival forum, he denounced the “new world order” and asserted that “the revolt of September 11th was about ‘Fuck you! Fuck your order—’” He suggested that those in the Arab world who celebrated the downing of the World Trade Center were reacting like those who had responded joyfully to the French and Russian revolutions. Stone also apparently drew a link between the attacks and the hijacking of the 2000 elections by the Bush camp, which he described as a confirmation of the demise of democracy.

So where is the rage now?? He may have been wrong about the Arabs, but was right about everything else. I guess the "demise of democracy" isn't such an issue for him anymore, now that he is part of the media spreading propaganda.
