Mrs. Miniverstein

Taking a page from the ultra-successful pre-WWII British propaganda series "Mrs. Miniver", next week's release of 'A Mighty Heart', starring Angelina Jolie as Mariane Pearl will have a large hill to climb.

How Dan Futterman, via script and acting, manages to portray Daniel Pearl as a regular "dedicated reporter" will be a neat trick. Like Evil Knievel jumping the Snake River.

Because there would be no reason for any radical Muslims to think that a Jewish-American working for the Wall Street Journal, covering the "War on Terror" in Pakistan, would be in any way connected to the CIA ?

update: do as i say (act) not as i do
