Oliver Stone's Delightful Turkish Apology

I was reading about the film "Midnight Express" on wikipedia and came across a perculiar paragraph about (paranoid?) director Oliver Stone:

"When he visited Turkey in 2004, screenwriter Oliver Stone, who won an Academy Award for the film, made an apology for the portrayal of the Turkish people in the film."

Oh, but pasting and lambasting Americans with conspiracy tales is ok? Yes, yes. I forgot. We need to hear the "truth" about Americans. Styuupid moi.

The striking stupidity of some people in Hollywood is boundless.

    In Turkey he could be sent to prison for slandering the State or the People. Not so inthe U.S.

  4. I think you're right.

    Might I add a more direct word?

    How about 'hypocrite?'

    It's the same with Michael Moore. Blast America and praise nations that would never for one second tolerate you. At least Maher has the decency to mention he's lucky to live in a free country.
