It's a fine movie, but at the end, Jack confronts the President of the United States. He tries t get Jack to go with the lie and cover their asses. Jack says no. He is going to testify in front of Congress, which will he will expose the truth and bring down this government plot.
The movie ends with swelling music and him being sworn in to "Tell the Truth, so help me God."
It's all very sweet, until you realize that it is a fabricated fairy tale. Republicans don't believe in the truth, or honest or doing the right thing. Probably most Democrats would do the same thing if roles were reversed, but they aren't. Want proof that Republicans don't give a shit about honor, truth or American Values...
And if that doesn't make you sad, you're not paying attention.
