I'm not saying I'm forgiving him for all that whole whoring for the U.S. worldwide empire bidness, but I'm saying that this one's going a very very long way towards making some serious amends.

Colbert is a national treasure; it's unfortunate that good satire is so poorly appreciated.
The real issue is that there is extremely low likelihood that the speculations of the untrained, on a topic almost pathologically riddled by dynamic considerations and feedback effects, will offer anything new.

Bigelow on Colbert Show
Kathryn Bigelow dared to sit down with Stephen tonight, probably wondering if she was going to hear a complaint that she didn't have enough torture in Zero Dark Thirty. Perhaps hoping for another Colbert bump, since he calls ZDT fantastic. He opens by asking her why film has provoked "liberals" so much (he's glad it's got their "cojones" in a twist).
She opens by calling torture "reprehensible." This movie is "first rough-cut of history." Colbert says people don't read books so movies are how people will remember history. She claims key piece of info in getting Osama was stuck in file for years--suggesting falsely that this is main point in movie and deflecting attention from the torture value. Colbert then completely misses point in suggesting there's controversy over the movie because it shows torture. She's surely happy with this claim and says many other things led to getting Osama. Closes: "I stand by the movie. I wouldn't change a thing in the movie. It's certainly based on an honest version of the story as we know it." Just in case you thought she might have second thoughts.
Not Stephen's best moment either. But he just tweeted the "full interview" will be posted at 5 a.m.
