Two points: the man has not seen the film he is trying to have banned; two - the film is closely based on a true story.
So what O'Reilly is saying is: don't tell the truth, people won't like it.
'Redacted' has not been banned, it may even be (whisper it) not very good. I don't know, I haven't seen it. But at a time when the comment on War from Hollywood focuses on safe, past wars, I think de Palma deserves some acclaim for tackling the actual war which is being fought.
Comments please.

did anybody catch the quick title "no spin zone" over the opener? Just after O'reilly remarks that Cuban's doing the Mambo. Great sound bite there.
Redacted has been getting plenty of negative press over the past few months ever since the media caught on to what he's up to. This may be a great case of the controversy being bigger than the film itself. We have yet to see. The MPAA doesn't like the film, either. But there's no way they can ban it. Not in a democracy such as ours. Anybody see Gunnar Palace?
I caught an intriguing interview last night with Naomi Klein on Charlie Rose. Her new book, Shock Doctrine, looks at the privitization of Government operations such as the army, health care, and emergency services. What if Wal-Mart takes over FEMA? Is it possible? Have you seen Idiocracy? It may not be too far off.
